【 摘 要 】

This volume presents case studies ofcustoms modernization initiatives in eight developingcountries: Bolivia, Ghana, Morocco, Mozambique, Peru, thePhilippines, Turkey, and Uganda. The purpose of these casestudies was to obtain a firsthand view of how thesecountries undertook customs reforms and to assess theirsuccess. The overall lessons learned from these studies arepresented in chapter 2 of the Customs Modernization Handbook(World Bank forthcoming), a companion volume that providespolicymakers, practitioners, and project managers fromdevelopment agencies with an overview of the key issues theyneed to address in preparing and implementing customsmodernization initiatives. The audience for the CustomsModernization Handbook is customs officials who are calledon to design and implement customs reform and modernizationstrategies, as well as staff members of the World Bank andof other multilateral and bilateral development agencies whosupport developing countries in implementing suchstrategies. All the case studies except for the one on Ghanawere prepared using basically the same methodology, whichaimed at identifying the origins of the reforms, the maindrivers, and the outcomes. The Ghana case study is somewhatdifferent, because it focuses on how the automation of tradeand customs processes took the lead in the tradefacilitation and customs reform.
