CONTEXT & CHALLENGE
Since its inception in 2011, the Kenya Country Program has been assisting the Government of Kenya and the private sector in implementing interventions to boost trade in the region. The interventions cut across the three TMA strategic objectives, and aim to contribute to TMA’s overall vision of promoting trade in the region.
Kenya is a major gateway to East Africa due to its geographical positioning and coastal line. It is also a regional hub for trade, finance, communication and transportation services. The Mombasa Port is a critical node for trade that acts as a mouth for the Northern Corridor reaching the neighboring countries of Uganda, Northern Tanzania, DR Congo, Ethiopia and South Sudan. While Kenya’s ease of doing business has been gradually improving, research indicates that many businesses have not positioned themselves to take full advantage of emerging trade opportunities particularly in export.
TradeMark Africa is partnering with several bodies including the Kenya Revenue Authority, the Kenya National Highway Authority among others to undertake a number of projects from the period starting 2011, including the renovation of physical infrastructure and improvement of systems in order to boost regional trade in East Africa.
