The development of knowledge products is insufficient to build capacity and support uptake of findings by partners. Using appropriate dissemination pathways is important in engaging relevant stakeholders and decision makers to adopt the key messages. The main dissemination pathways for the JCC case study and the three CBM reports seem to be through presentations to relevant authorities and targeted training activities to strengthen awareness, institutional capacity, standards, and policies.

Accessing additional professional and technical resources was helpful in contributing to the success of the TA. In particular, the involvement of technical experts from the WCO enhanced the provision of technical support and enabled the TA to develop methodologies (TRS, JCC). In addition, the use of Japanese resource persons enabled the TA to draw on country practices in customs modernization and visibility improvement. These lessons could be relevant to other JFPR-funded TA projects as well.
