Pre-Feasibility Study of Sabah-North Kalimantan Cross-Border Value Chains

Lord, Montague and Chang, Susan (2018): Pre-Feasibility Study of Sabah-North Kalimantan Cross-Border Value Chains.

Abstract

This study maps the optimal configuration of North Kalimantan–Sabah cross-border trade and investment in goods and services; and, concurrently, it provides a preliminary (pre-feasibility) design of a border area development plan for the two territories. The options for moving project proposals forward are elaborated in sufficient detail and contain the needed concrete measures that will permit the overall collaboration program to move through subsequent stages of development into the final implementation and operational phases.
