Most developing countries in the region are still at the nascent stage of developing their logistics systems and face challenges of high logistics costs and poor logistics performance.

In view of the high logistics costs and poor logistics performance of many countries of the region there is clearly a need to identify and address the issuesand challenges that they are facing at both the national and international levels. At the national level, the key issues and challenges include developing logistics infrastructure (transport modes and intermodal logistics facilities as well as information and communications technology (ICT)), establishing suitable regulatory regimes and institutional arrangements, and enhancing the professionalism and competence of logistics service providers. Logistics and supply chain management is emerging not all Universities and Colleges offers this kind of profession.
