Abstract

This pre-feasibility study on Sarawak-West Kalimantan cross-border value chains covers six topics: (1) It analyzes existing trade patterns and competitive advantages of Sarawak and West Kalimantan, as well as government objectives in promoting cross-border commercial activities. (2) It proposes a border economic area spread over a wide geographic area that covers a network of interrelated activities and provides a fully integrated approach to the border economic area design and implementation. (3) It identifies potential cross-border value chains that can serve as high-profile projects for the border economic area. (4) It determines the preference orderings of project features by key stakeholders such as government and development partners, commercial entities, and the local population. (5) It estimates the net monetary returns for the project portfolio, a cost-effectiveness analysis of the stand-alone capacity-building projects, ranks stakeholders’ non-monetary preferences, and incorporates the the preference ranking order into the project portfolio’s net monetary returns. (6) It provides an overall program appraisal for the set of projects, and, based on pre-feasibility results, it lays out a plan for implementation of the border area development program.
