The National Bureau of Land Freight of Chad (BNFT) has joined forces with freight authorities in Cameroon and the Central African Republic to launch a landmark digitalization pact for Central Africa’s trade corridors by 2030.
This groundbreaking agreement aims to revolutionize the movement and transit of goods across the subregion, streamlining commercial exchanges through cutting-edge digital solutions. By digitizing transit procedures, the three nations seek to build a more efficient, secure, and resilient transport system for the future.
Saleh Youssouf Erda, Director General of the BNFT, emphasized the urgency of this digital leap in today’s fast-evolving landscape. « This pact marks a bold step toward modern logistics and accelerated corridor digitalization. We’re operating in a digital-first world—this transformation will shield goods from risks while making every transaction smoother and faster, » he explained.
On the other side of the agreement, a senior official from the Central African Republic’s Ministry of Transport highlighted the collaborative spirit behind the initiative. « Months of negotiations have culminated in a system that slashes waiting times for administrative clearances while tightening security for every shipment. It’s a game-changer for reliability across our borders, » the official noted.
The pact aligns with a broader push to upgrade Central Africa’s transport corridors, fostering deeper economic ties and seamless trade flows among member states.
