Global Gateway Transport Support Mechanism (GGTSM)

TAS Europrojects ensures that EU policy on quality infrastructure and connectivity is effectively embedded through a harmonized approach at both country and regional levels as part of the Consortium implementing since January 2023 the facility Global Gateway Transport Support Mechanism (GGTSM) for DG INTPA . This includes providing technical support to identify priority areas for sustainable investment in partner countries, jointly with financial, cooperation and private stakeholders, mainly in the transport sector. The specific objectives are the following:

  1. Promote overarching quality infrastructure and sustainable connectivity policies and strategies (“hard” and “soft” connectivity) in the transport sector.
  2. Support further developments of G20 Principles for quality infrastructure investment, aligned with the Green Deal and GG Strategy, and promoting jobs and growth and the twin transition.
  3. Share and integrate quality infrastructure good practices into the EU cooperation.
  4. Operationalise the EU global strategy on transport connectivity.

With a strong focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, 19 out 30 assignments have been implemented in the region, each mobilizing between 100 and 500 expert working days. The key results achieved include:

  • Project identification along nine transport corridors in SSA.
  • Support to 51 beneficiary countries through 26 leading EUDs, including 32 countries in SSA.

Coverage of the four modes of transport, urban transport, green fuels and energy conservation in transport infrastructures.

Type of services provided by TAS Europrojects

The services are delivered by two permanent KEs, NKEs mobilized for specific assignments and a strong backstopping team. This technical support has been provided both to DG INTPA and directly to EUDs worldwide:

  • Mapping of national and regional quality infrastructure and connectivity sector related policies including planning, regulations and reforms with a focus on the transport sector.
  • Capacity building on G20 Principles for quality and sustainable infrastructure investment to promote economic development.
  • Technical support in identification, programming and preparation of projects. This also accounts for studies that assess specific aspects of specific transport projects related to decarbonisation, promotion of nature-based solutions and green infrastructures, digitalisation, gender equality and other social considerations or climate change impacts in complement to infrastructure panning.
  • Operationalisation of the EU connectivity strategy establishing the most appropriate areas and regions of investment in relation to the EU connectivity agenda and in line with the Green Deal.

Beyond the strategic services to DG INTPA, some of the assignments supporting the work of EUDs include:

  • Support to project identification and mapping on multiple EU identified African corridors (with project fiches).
  • Infrastructure Pre-Feasibility studies.
