The program's intended impact is to increase trade, including intraregional trade, of SASEC countries by reducing or removing non-tariff barriers, specifically institutional, administrative, and technical barriers to trade in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. The intended outcome is to support a more efficient, transparent, secure, and service-oriented processing of trade in the subregion.
