 * Methodology**

The trainer makes a short presentation about the itinerary (see presentation).(10 minutes) After this presentation the trainer asks the participants what the potential causes are for border delays. (20 minutes). The stories and cases from the participants should be classified in the categories that appear in the TF guide:

1. Infrastructure limitations and inefficiencies 2. Slow processing for release 3. Opening hours.

Stories are mapped out on large post-its and are classified in the three categories on three large flip-charts in front of the class room. After this initial mapping exercise the trainer divides the participants in three different groups. (45 minutes)

__Group 1:__ Cross border requirements http://tradefacilitationimplementation.wikispaces.com/Crossborder+Requirements __Group 2:__ Transit http://tradefacilitationimplementation.wikispaces.com/Transit __Group 3:__ Port Control http://tradefacilitationimplementation.wikispaces.com/Port+Control

Every group gets access to the relevant link of the TF guide and tries to come up with a summary on the following two questions: - What is your topic about ? - Why is it important for trade facilitation?

Additional guideline: Try to illustrate your points with concrete cases / examples from your own context.

One represent per group makes a synthetic presentation of the answers the group came up with. The trainer provides additional feedback where needed.

The session concludes with an evaluation of possible solutions (25 minutes). The trainer makes an inventory of the general and more specific solutions that are pointed out in the TF guide and illustrates where possible with concrete examples. The trainer can make use of the following link of the TF guide: http://tradefacilitationimplementation.wikispaces.com/Solutions
