JOINT BORDER POSTS

The Joint Border Posts or JBPs are a key component of the West African Regional Transport and Transit Facilitation Project, initiated by WAEMU and ECOWAS, to consolidate and improve the cross-border transport of people and goods. The JBPs are multimodal logistics platforms equipped with the latest innovation in state-of-the-art infrastructure, equipment and IT systems. Their aim is to enable integrated management of all border control activities by bringing together the agencies of two border countries within the same site.
