Bottlenecks in the Freight Forwarding sector in West - coast Africa (original) (raw)

Problem-The expansion of global trade and supply chain integration has put great emphasis on logistics, particularly in the intermediary sector, freight forwarders. Whilst in developed countries freight forwarders benefit from competitive markets and trade facilitating policies, this sector in West coast Africa exhibits low logistics performance levels. In order to address such issues, one needs to analyse the problem and identify the causes; this thesis focuses on identifying the bottlenecks in the freight-forwarding sector in west coast Africa.
