What is it about?
The need to ensure that border points that occur in a corridor are developed in more or less similar ways and at similar times.

Why is it important?
This is important because challenges in movement of goods at one poor border point erode the advantages brought in by a good border point for cargo and people in transit.
Perspectives
The authors submit that developing one border point to ensure efficiency will not yield desired results if other border points occurring in series to that border in a corridor do not perform to the same level. An example is given of the challenges faced in Southern Africa to date. Deespite the transformation of the Chirundu border point into a One-Stop-Border-Post, it remains the only entry point under this system thus the ease of doing business it brings cannot transform the whole SADC North-South corridor.
