UNDP proposes, with the assistance of key partners IOM and UNCTAD, to deliver capability and support over the 3-year span of this project to participating border management agencies, along with key airport and port authorities, assisting them to adopt and implement the practices and standards, and acquire the systems, equipment and infrastructure and capacity to effectively implement COVID-19 public health protocols. 

Measures to support standards-based health documentation and paperless border management documentation for travellers and cargo will be supported, further strengthening the drive among participating countries for the expansion of e-Government services and the access and equity this facilitates. 

Regional collaboration and knowledge sharing among and between participating border agencies will be facilitated to encourage the adoption of regional across-border standards, agreements and governance mechanisms to reduce red-tape and maximise the benefits of cross-border trade and travel whilst managing risk and addressing community concern around border management and the transmission of COVID-19.
