In spearheading trade integration across East Africa, Trademark East Africa has invested $100 million in upgrading the one-stop border posts within the region.

This will ease cross-border trade and improve business competitiveness by reducing the time spent to clear cargo on transit.
So far, construction at the Holili-Taveta one-stop border post at the Kenya-Tanzania border is complete, paving way for controls that will save time and money for traders ferrying goods into Northern Tanzania. It is expected to be officially in 2015.

States Frank Matsaert, CEO at Trademark East Africa, “We are already working on the Busia and Malaba border posts to upgrade the facilities, as well as work towards improving the management of work processes and eventually easing transit times in East Africa.”
