Trade in the East African Community (EAC) has been given a boost by the African Development Bank (AFDB) agreeing to fund the upgrade of a busy regional road key to increasing the movement of goods in the region.
$223.5 million has been granted by the AFDB for the project.
The road being upgraded runs from Taveta to Voi in Kenya and is being rehabilitated to create another major transport corridor in the region. This will then link the Mombasa Port with northern Tanzania and landlocked countries in the region.
