FOREWORD
FROM EABC CHAIRMAN The East African Community offers a large market for
trade in merchandise and services. With a population
of about 186.9 million consumers, the region’s demand
for goods and services is quite high. According to EAC
Trade and Investment Report (2020) total trade in Africa
amounted to USD1.05 billion in 2019. The EAC exports to
the rest of Africa stood at USD 260 million in 2019 while
imports at USD 338.9 million. The total trade for EAC
stood at USD55,278.2 million in 2019. EAC total exports
increased by 3.15 percent to USD 16,257 million from
USD 15,760.8 million in 2019. The increase was attribut-
ed to the increase in value of EAC exports to the United
Arabs Emirates and United Kingdom.
Total EAC imports decreased by 9.77 percent to USD

35,658 million in 2020 from USD 39,517.50 million in
2019. The relative decline in EAC imports between 2019
and 2020 was due to COVID-19 pandemic which reduced
trading activities with import partners, mainly China, In-
dia and the Europeran Union. Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) flows into EAC are vital to the mechanization of ag-
riculture, and transformation and industrialization in the
region. Total investment into East Africa hit USD 11.64
billion in 2019.
AfCFTA is set to boost Africa’s income by USD.450 billion

by 2035 (a gain of 7 percent) and increase Africa’s exports
by USD.560 billion, mostly in manufacturing. Of the USD.
450 billion in income gains from AfCFTA, USD. 292 billion
would come from stronger trade facilitation -measures
to reduce red tape and simplify customs procedures. In
addition, AfCFTA is set to boost manufacturing output to
USD 930 billion by 2025 from 500 billion in 2016. This

FROM THE EABC CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
On behalf of the Chairman, Board of Directors and Management
of the East African Business Council (EABC), I am honoured
to present to you the 2022 edition of the East Africa Business
Directory.
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is set to boost

Eastern Africa manufactured exports to the rest of Africa, in par-
ticular, textiles & clothing exports will increase by 100%, heavy
manufacturing by 63%, light manufacturing by 61%, processed
food by 54% while livestock & meat products by 39%. Political
will to duly implement the agreed commitments of the AfCFTA is
a cornerstone to actualize the benefits of the continental agree-
ment.
The involvement of the private sector in the negotiations of the

AfCFTA is critical to hasten the execution of the AfCFTA. AfCFTA
is a game-changer for economic growth, food security, poverty
reduction, underemployment, unemployment, deepening & orga-
nizing value chains, improving investments, exports & imports in
the African continent.
Complex negotiations, poor inter-country transport infrastructure

or insufficient networks, Excessive red tape and NTBs at the bor-
ders, protectionism, and reluctance to liberalize certain sub-sec-
tors are among challenges to AfCFTA implementation.
The AfCFTA is set to create 14 million decent new jobs in manu-

facturing, 52% increase in intra-regional trade, create a USD450
billion boost to continental GDP, increase trade diversification and
improve livelihoods of women cross border traders and SMEs.

ROLE OF BUSINESS
COUNCILS IN STEERING THE AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA
ROLE OF BUSINESS COUNCILS IN STEERING THE AfCFTA
The AfCFTA is a framework agreement, with comprehensive

coverage of Trade in Goods, Trade in Services, Investment,
Competition Policy, Intellectual Property Rights, Women and
Youth in Trade, Digital Trade as well as Rules and Procedures
for the Settlement of Disputes.
Implementation of the agreement has been slow partly because

of the global COVID-19 pandemic but much scepticism remains
over the practical ability to unify 54 countries into a common free
trade area.
The AFCTA has nevertheless registered some gains with com-

mon the examples being cited include Ethiopian Airlines, DHL
and the African Electronic Trade Group who entered a partner-
ship effective 1st January 2021 to ship goods across Africa.
Many of these were produced in eSwatini to various countries
that had signed and ratified the AfCFTA, including South Africa
and Ethiopia.
Furthermore, two Ghanaian companies; one, a manufacturer of

alcoholic products and the other a cosmetics company export-
ed their products via air and sea freights under the AfCFTA in
early January.
These isolated cases, however, highlight the disconnect be-

tween the political momentum of the AfCFTA and its practical
application.
Dennis Karera The role of business councils in steering the AFCTA is therefore
not limited to the following;

in place.

There are opportunities for business councils/associations and associated service providers with the technical expertise
to develop tools for firms to better understand the implications and new market opportunities. International partners must
also seek to support these efforts at the national, regional and continental levels.
ii. Direct Interface with the AfCFTA Beneficiaries

The Business Councils which are the umbrella bodies representing the private sector in Africa are an important and
strategic partner in the implementation of the AfCFTA.
The private sector is a major driver for sustainable economic growth and development, job creation and poverty allevi-
ation in Africa and across the world.
In Africa, the private sector accounts for 80 per cent of total production, two-thirds of investment, three-quarters of credit
and employs 90 per cent of the working-age population.
In addition to the above, 90 per cent of the firms within the African private sector are small and medium enterprises
(SMEs), these businesses participation in cross-border trade is very limited due to tariffs and non-tariff barriers which
include; complex customs and trade procedures, lack of access to finance, high transportation costs as well as lack of
access to information among others. The outcome of the AfCFTA will therefore depend on the degree to which private
sector companies across sectors and countries are engaged;
(1) to be able to use the AfCFTA and (2) decide if it is worthwhile while using it.
This will necessitate State Parties to engage the BMOs to translate the agreement into practical processes and proce-
dures whilst assisting companies to use them.
iii. Facilitating Information Flow

The core aim of the AfCFTA on the trade of goods is to reduce tariffs on intra-African trade by an agreed percentage
over a stipulated period.
Though initially focused on the trade of goods, the agreement will be extended to trade in services and eventually also
free movement of people.
The timeframe for implementation of tariff reductions will be agreed in line with the principle of reciprocity among nego-
tiating parties which has been in effect since 1 January 2021. Making use of the preferences under the AfCFTA is not
automatic, not only do the goods need to meet the origin requirements, but also have supporting documentation proving
that the firms were pre-registered in terms of the agreement.
That is just the bureaucratic part, before this, firms must be aware of the possible export opportunities but also the tariffs
of potential export destinations under the AfCFTA not neglecting competition from imports.
The need for businesses to get informed and engaged is quite important considering the negotiations are still underway.
Once a company gains knowledge on the tariff codes for the products it exports or imports, it can then assess the
changes to import protection under the agreement and discern where savings can be realised on exports to other African
markets outside its existing regional free trade agreement.
These are therefore the opportunities in some member states to review the offers that are now on the table and provide
trade negotiators with direct and specific input on products of interest to their companies.How this is done will vary from
country to country, but in most cases, it will be via business associations that can also assist with up-to-date technical
information.
HOW THE PRIVATE SECTOR SHOULD BE SUPPORTED IN THE PROCESS
With the implementation moving strongly into focus, the action around the AfCFTA will become more regional and
national.
This provides an opportunity to partners who support the process to shift away from the continental level; Development
Partners, Regional Economic Communities and governments can now begin to seek bottom-up ways to support private
sector engagement in the ongoing discussions within countries and regions as well as in the design of the processes to
encourage trade and investment.

• Improving the information available to businesses would be a good start.
• This needs to go beyond the general level presentations to details on the agreed rules of origin and tariff offers rel-
evant to their markets, sending out large documents often presented in a way that only makes sense to the negoti-
ators does not encourage private sector participation. There are opportunities for business associations and service
providers with the technical expertise to develop accessible tools for firms to better understand the implications and
new market opportunities.
• Partners can also help to build capacity in government agencies that must now take what trade officials have nego-
tiated and turn it into operating procedures implemented at borders around the continent. The AfCFTA itself guides
in this regard, however, the steps for application will vary from country to country because of the special consider-
ations of national and regional circumstances.
• There has been remarkable commitment towards The AfCFTA evidenced by a diverse range of countries prepared
to develop a complex set of trade rules. It has provided a chance for African countries to test and hone their capacity
in trade negotiations.
Now is the time to more actively engage the private sector and support government players like customs administra-
tions who are key to ensuring that the world’s largest free trade agreement lives up to its full potential. Without this, the
AfCFTA risks creating an empty framework or one where only a few manage to take advantage of it and that is not the
‘Africa we want.
CONSTRAINTS, HINDRANCES AND CHALLENGES RELATIVE TO THE AfCFTA IMPLEMENTATION.
Addressing Cost of Trade: The cost of cross-border trade is high and may represent a barrier for MSMEs. The
AfCFTA-Mechanism for removal of Persistent and new NTBs is needed, there is a need to fix infrastructure (hard and
soft) to facilitate trade, otherwise, only large companies would be able to fully benefit.
Conflicting RECs: Most African countries are part of more than one REC and so convergence among RECs should be
made compatible with the AfCFTA. Harmonization of standards and certification is also a priority, a large number of dif-
ferent standards depending on the countries or the regions remains a barrier to trade.
Levels of Digitalization and information access: The development of e-commerce is one of the main challenges that
East African countries are facing. In many African countries, adequate and affordable information and communications
technology (ICT) and connectivity to enable digitalization is still an issue.
Ensuring Trade Facilitation Arrangements are efficiently working: A wide range of measures can be implemented such
as flexible fiscal structures to stimulate private sector growth and spur participation in AfCFTA trading ecosystems.
These include; investment incentives, tax reductions, technical support (e.g. provide specific tools for farmers, develop
alternative seeds and biological fertilizers), capacity building of producers of goods and services, infrastructure invest-
ments, efficient customs cooperation and coordination, consideration of women and youth in business but to mention
a few.
National Interests Superceeding Integration Agenda: The integration agenda has been slow due to the inward-looking
syndrome of the parties to the process.
If the AfCFTA is to be implemented, there is a need to look at the big picture envisaged in Agenda 2063 and deter from
national interests taking centre stage. This will help quicken the negotiation process and consequently realize the ben-
efits of the agreement.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE (DIFFERENTLY), TO ENSURE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFCFTA.
The integration efforts in Africa originate from the Abuja treaty, where regional integration is seen as the basis of con-
tinental-wide integration. The successes and failures of RECs can therefore hold back or advance continental-wide
integration efforts.
In that case, the RECs can be seen as a model for the successful implementation of the AfCFTA other than operating
at a National level. The AfCFTA builds on the eight regional economic blocks in Africa and will borrow heavily from their
internal processes for example handling of NTBs, customs, rules and procedures for movement of labour and capital,
etc. RECs will therefore be instrumental in coordinating negotiation positions and supporting their member states in the
implementation of the AfCFTA.

BRIEF ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE
TRADE AREA (AFCFTA) NEGOTIATIONS
A. SIGNATURE AND RATIFICATION OF THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING THE AfCFTA
1. To date, the Agreement Establishing the AfCFTA has been signed by 54 AU Member States with only one country,
Eritrea still not having signed. Forty one (41) African Union Member States are also State Parties to the Agreement by
virtue of their deposits of the instruments of ratification of the Agreement.
B. STATUS OF NEGOTIATIONS
Rules of Origin and Market Access
2. So far, 44 draft tariff offers have been submitted by Customs Unions, State Parties and Non-State Parties.
The submitted draft offers underwent technical verification by the AfCFTA Secretariat to ensure that they are in compli-
ance with the adopted modalities. 29 technically verified offers meet the minimum threshold of 90% of the tariff lines.
3. On Rules of Origin negotiations, 87.7% of the tariff lines have been agreed upon, while the outstanding rules belong
mainly to the textile and automotive sectors, as well as on sugor products (Headings 1702 and 1704) and tobacco prod-
ucts (Headings 2402 and 2403). The AfCFTA Council of Ministers responsible for Trade agreed that trading under the
AfCFTA proceeds on the basis of Agreed Rules of Origin covering 87.7% of the total tariff lines.
4. At their 7th Meeting held in Accra, Ghana on 10th October 2021, the AfCFTA Council of Ministers responsible for
Trade approved a Ministerial Directive on the Application of Provisional Schedules of Tariff Concessions, pending
conclusion of all outstanding issues on the Schedules of Tariff Concession in accordance with the adopted modalities.
The Directive will allow the start of preferential trade under the AfCFTA on the basis of the 29 technically verified offers
as well as other offers which will meet the 90% threshold at a later stage.
5. The Ministerial directive also endorses the provisional application of Rulesof Origin in existing trade regimes of Re-
gional Economic Communities (RECs), pending the adoption of all outstanding issues in the Rules of Origin negotia-
tions. In this regard, Ministers requested the AfCFTA Secretariat to develop guidelines for such application.
Trade in Services
6. On Trade in Services, 46 initial and revised offers have been submitted by State and non-State Parties, covering the
five priority sectors, namely: Business, Communication, Financial, Tourism and Transport services sectors. Some State
and non-State Parties, namely members of CEMAC, EAC, and ECOWAS, have presented consolidated Offers as part
of this process.

7. The Committee on Trade in Services (CTiS) was established to undertake the technical work required to achieve the
objectives under the Protocol on Trade in Services. At the 1st Meeting of the CTiS, the Committee adopted its Terms
of Reference (ToR) and recommended five (5) Sub-Committees (Sub-Committee on Specific Commitments (SCSC);
Sub-Committee on Regulatory Frameworks (SCRF); Sub-Committee on Mutual Recognition of Professional Quali-
fications (SCMPRQ); Sub-Committee on Trade in Services-related Issues and Sub-Committee on AfCFTA Trade in
Services Rules) to be established to assist its work. This was approved by the Council of Ministers.
8. Negotiations on submitted offers commenced in the CTiS, where State and non-State Parties exchanged requests
and responses to requests on all submitted offers.In addition, the Committee has started the work on the development
of regulatory frameworks in cross-cutting and sectoral areas. Training and capacity building has been provided to enable
service negotiators to prepare effectively for the negotiations.
9. The CTIS has developed technical documents to facilitate negotiations on Trade in Services, namely:
a. Elements for Negotiating a Framework Document on Regulatory Cooperation,
b. Guidance Note on Scheduling Economic Needs Tests (ENTs),
c. Definitions on Common Categories of Natural Persons; and
d. Methodology for Verification of Schedules of Specific Commitments.
10. The 8th meeting of the AfCFTA Council of Ministers responsible for Trade approved the Methodology for Verification
of Schedules of Specific Commitments and agreed to extend the deadline for completion of the services negotiations in
the 5 priority sectors until 30th June 2022.
Phase II negotiations
11. Negotiations on Phase II are at different stages: On 3rd May 2021, the AfCFTA Council of Ministers responsible
for Trade, established the Phase II Committees to facilitate negotiations on the Protocols on Investment; Competition
Policy; Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); E-Commerce; and Women and Youth in Trade.
12. The Committee on Investment developed and adopted their Terms of Reference and the Negotiating Modalities and
Guiding Principles for the negotiation of the Protocol on Investment. Capacity building and regional stakeholder engage-
ments were to get views on the potential issues for inclusion in the Protocol. The Committee on Investment had a first
reading of the Zero Draft AfCFTA Protocol on Investment.
13. Two meetings for the Competition Committee and one capacity building workshop on Competition Policy have been
held. The Committee adopted its terms of reference, considered the situational analysis of competition policy and insti-
tutions in Africa, adopted its work plan for 2022 and adopted its work plan to sequence the negotiations as well as the
capacity building work programme.
14. The Committee on IPRs considered a situational study on the state of play of IPRs in Africa, developed the
Negotiating Modalities and Guiding Principles for the negotiation of the Protocol on IPRs which were adopted by the 8th
meeting of the Council of Ministers. Capacity building activities were also organized to enhance the understanding of
the members of the Committee on IPRs on regional as well as international IPR-related issues.
15. The Committee on Digital Trade and Women and Youth in Trade are yet to have their inaugural meeting. The AfCFTA
Secretariat, in collaboration with UNDP and UN Women, carried out national consultations and surveys on women-led
businesses to understand the constraints women face when trading on the continent and their expectations.The con-
sultations will culminate into an AfCFTA Women in Trade Conference that will bring together women in trade and rele-
vant stakeholders to discuss specific challenges women face in accessing markets on the continent and policies and
programmes to address them. It is expected that the outcome of the Conference will feed into the negotiations of the
Women and Youth in Trade Protocol.
16. The 8th Meeting of the Council of Ministers approved the request to extend the deadline for conclusion of Phase II
negotiations to September 2022.

C. STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION
Operationalization of the AfCFTA: Customs operations
17. In recognition of the critical role of Customs in achieving the goals and objectives of the AfCFTA, the 4th Meeting
of Council of Ministers approved the establishment of the AfCFTA Committee of the Directors General of Customs.
The Council of Ministers also established the Sub-Committee on Customs Cooperation, Trade Facilitation, and Transit.
18. Samples of trading documents have been agreed upon, these comprise of: Certificate of Origin; Origin Declaration,
and Producer/Supplier Declarations together with their distinguishing features. There is ongoing work to finalize other
issues such as transit documents and matters pertaining to trade facilitation.
19. As a pilot project, the AfCFTA Secretariat is engaging with the traders, economic operators and stakeholders on
the ground (public and private) so as to assess the implementation of the Abidjan – Lagos Corridor which is a flagship
project of AU PIDA.
Dispute Settlement Mechanism
20. Work to operationalize the Dispute Settlement Mechanism began with the inaugural meeting of the Dispute Settle-
ment Body (DSB) in April 2021. The DSB is specifically tasked with the surveillance of implementation of the AfCFTA
under Article 20 of the Agreement Establishing the AfCFTA as elaborated by the Protocol on Dispute Settlement.
21. The DSB has taken the necessary procedural steps to assume its mandate. Firstly, inviting State Parties to nominate
trade experts to the Indicative List of Panelists, from which persons would be chosen to serve on Dispute Settlement
Panels. Secondly, the DSB has established an Appellate Body as a standing tribunal to hear appeals from cases ad-
judicated by Panels. Modalities on the selection of persons to serve on the Appellate Body would be considered at the
next meeting of the DSB.
Special Economic Zones
22. The AfCFTA Agreement under Article 23 provides for the establishment and operation of special economic
arrangements or zones for the purpose of accelerating development. The first AfCFTA Consultative Meeting on Special
Economic Zones (SEZs) was convened in Libreville, Gabon on 1st – 2nd November, 2021. The overall objective of the
meeting was to provide a platform for Senior Trade Officials, SEZ policymakers, and experts to exchange views and
experiences on SEZ policy in the context of developing SEZ regulations for the AfCFTA. In light of the outcomes of this
meeting, the 8th Meeting of the AfCFTA Council of Ministers directed the AfCFTA Secretariat to draft a comprehensive
information note that will inform the drafting of SEZ Regulations by the Committee on Trade in Goods.
Collaboration with Regional Economic Communities
23. The first Coordination Meeting of the Heads of the RECs on the Implementation of the AfCFTA was convened in
Accra – Ghana in a hybrid format on 20 September 2021 with a view to enhancing the collaboration between the Sec-
retariats of the AfCFTA and the RECs in the implementation of the AfCFTA through discussion of an Action Plan for
Collaboration. Monitoring of the implementation of the set Action plan will be conducted through regular meetings and
reports to the AU Policy Organs.
Pan-African Payments and Settlements System (PAPSS)
24. The 12th Extra-Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of States and Governments held in July 2019, launched
the Pan-African Payments and Settlements System (PAPSS). It puts in place a platform and infrastructure for the effi-
cient conduct of cross-border payments developed through the support of the African Export and Import Bank (Afrex-
imbank).
25. On the 13th January 2022, the AfCFTA Secretariat and Afreximbank hosted a Commercial launch of the PAPSS, in
Accra, Ghana.
26. The pilot for PAPSS is focused on the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) and as directed by the Council of Min-
isters, the AfCFTA Secretariat is working with the Afreximbank and African Central Bank Governors to develop a regula-
tory framework on cross-border payments to support the operationalization of the PAPSS.

a provisional basis under AfCFTA.
This happens in the background of the meeting of the

BLOC NEGOTIATIONS ON AfCFTA AfCFTA Council of Ministers responsible for Trade, held
on 10th October 2021, where they approved a Ministe-
rial Directive on the Application of Provisional Schedules
of Tariff Concessions, pending the conclusion of all out-
standing issues on the Schedules of Tariff Concession as
per the adopted modalities. The directive was set to allow
the start of preferential Trade under the AfCFTA on the 29
technically verified offers and other offers that will meet
the 90% threshold.
The EAC Secretariat is also planning on convening an

Experts meeting to consider categories B and C of the
EAC Tariff Offer.
To ensure African citizens benefit from the continen-

tal agreement, it is critical for the AfCFTA Secretariat to
adopt an integration approach that is people-centered,
market-driven and private sector-led.
The EAC has been providing training to EAC Partner

States on AfCFTA Rules of Origin. This, noting that citizen
sensitization and regular capacity-building activities at na-
tional and regional levels, on issues around the continen-
tal agreement are crucial.
The EAC has been pushing for deeper collaboration be-

tween the AfCFTA Secretariat, Regional Economic Blocs
Secretariats such as the EAC or Common Market for East
and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Regional Eco-
nomic Blocs Business Councils such as the East African
Business Council (EABC).
Engaging the private sector, civil societies and other

groups at different levels of policy formulation through
structured dialogue frameworks will ensure the agree-

Why
INVEST in kenya
Kenya is the dominant economy in East Africa contributing more than 45% to the region’s GDP, and is currently the 3rd
largest and fastest growing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. The year 2020 saw a decelerated growth due to negative
impact of COVID-19.
However, an economic rebound has been projected by up to 6.1% in the next year owing to deliberate efforts by gov-
ernment to put in place Economic Recovery Strategies focusing on support to the private sector and improving the busi-
ness environment.

Kenya is the economic, financial and logistics hub of the Services, Tourism, Wholesale and Retail Trade, ICT and
East African region. Kenya boasts of a number of attractive Business Process Outsourcing, Blue Economy, and Oil &
features including a strategic location; political stability; a Gas. In addition to these sectors, enabler sectors such as
stable, a fully liberalized and diversified economy; a large Infrastructure, Energy, Affordable Housing, Technology,

Economic Blue Print for the country.
These include: Agriculture, Manufacturing, Financial
Kenya’s economy continues to experience robust growth, at an average of 5.6% over the last 10 years and the Government
is continuously reviewing its investment environment to ensure that businesses that are located in the country maxi-
mize their return on investment, and make the country desirable for potential investors. The government has therefore
improved and simplified various legislations to make the economy more business friendly. These reforms have seen the
country improve significantly in:
1. The Ease of Doing Business where Kenya is currently ranked 56th out of 190 countries, a great leap from number
170 in 2012.
2. Financial Inclusion where Kenya has been ranked 1st for five years or so in a row by Brookings Institution.
3. Protection of minority investors where Kenya is currently ranked 1st globally in the Global Competitiveness Index
(WEF).
To enhance market access, the Government has signed Preferential Trade Agreements opening up markets estimated
to cover a population of over 1.7 Billion people and a market value of over US$ 40 Trillion under different bilateral and
multilateral agreements including the East African Community (EAC) customs territory, the Common Market for East &
Southern Africa (COMESA), the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), and the Economic Partnership Agreement
(EPA) with the EU.
This has facilitated integration into global supply chains and boosted productivity. Further, Kenya recently signed the
post-Brexit deal with the UK and is currently negotiating a post-AGOA Free Trade Agreement with the USA.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement when fully implemented will enhance the country’s
market reach throughout the continent.
The country is open and safe for business and investment. Kenya’s legal framework for investment (including the
Constitution) provides for adequate investor protection (since 1964) in line with most international standards (including
safeguards for property rights and expropriation). Kenya is a signatory to the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency
(MIGA); The International Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID); and a member of the Africa
Trade Insurance Agency (ATIA) that is headquartered in Nairobi. Most importantly, the track record of government since
independence is clear.
Investment opportunities
1. Manufacturing
a) Textile & Apparel production: 90% of the fabric used in Kenya’s Apparel sector
is imported. There is therefore a great opportunity for import substitution through
local production e.g. in Cotton processing and Ginning industries, existing and new
textile mills and apparel manufacturing within existing and planned Industrial Zones.
b) Leather processing: Processing of finished leather and leather goods; Substituting

approximately US$ 86 million in shoe imports yearly; Setting up of Tanneries.
c) Manufacture of Construction materials and equipment for use in the ongoing

developments in airports, malls, hotels, railways, and pipelines; Scalable low-cost

groundnuts (oil and peanut butter), palm oil and soya bean oil.

3. Housing and Infrastructure
Kenya has a deficit of 250,000 housing units annually. The low-cost housing agenda seeks to plug in on the acute short-
age of habitable housing units nationally through:
• Cutting the cost of construction through the use of innovative technologies;
• Reducing the cost of mortgages; and
• Raising low-cost funds from private and public sector for investment in large-scale housing construction.
a) Industrial Park development and setting up factories for Industrial Building Systems (IBS) for timely delivery of
construction inputs;
b) Scalable low-cost construction technology and modern innovative building technologies
c) Financing of affordable homes - Investment in the Housing Fund; provision of affordable long term Tenant Purchase
Schemes (TPS);
d) Engage in joint ventures with county governments towards delivery of affordable housing in respective counties and
in urban planning; and
e) Construction and operation of social and commercial amenities within developments;
• Office blocks: – Kenya is the commercial hub for East & Central Africa, with most Multinationals
relocating their headquarters to Kenya.
• Retail chains; – Nairobi continues to be home to most modern shopping malls.
4. Health and Pharmaceutical
a) Enhance low-cost private insurance coverage and schemes
b) Development of private healthcare facilities and services
c) Provision of medical commodities and equipment
d) Digitization of healthcare e.g., Supply chain telemedicine
e) Manufacture of medical supplies e.g., syringes, catheters, gauzes, etc. and

ing larger business clusters.
Invest in the Konza Technocity: A key Vision 2030 flagship project consisting of a 5,000-acre ITES-focused industrial
park located 60 km to the South East of Nairobi.
6. Renewable Energy

Why
Rwanda

of choice.
Rwanda is one of the fastest-growing economies globally,

In line with Rwanda’s vision to become a high-income

country by 2050 and as part of Rwanda’s ambition to
position itself as the region’s financial hub, the Kigali
International Financial Centre was born.
Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC) is a financial

centre facilitating international investment and cross-bor-
der transactions in Africa. KIFC positions Rwanda as a
preferred financial jurisdiction for investments into Africa
by providing an attractive destination for investors with a
legal and regulatory framework fully compliant with inter-
national best practices.
KIFC is one of the preferred financial destinations in

Africa - ranking top 5 in the African continent – and one
of the top 15 new International Financial Centres (IFCs)
to watch according to the Global Financial Centres index.
Rwanda remains the best place to invest. Institutions

such as the Rwanda Development Board and Kigali
International Financial Centre are ready to accompany
investors through their investment journey.

SKILLSMATCH
FIND THE DIGITAL
SKILLS FOR YOUR
BUSINESS’
COMPETITIVENESS AND
GROWTH
A recent study by International Finance Corporation (IFC) predicts that in Sub-Saharan Africa, over 230 million jobs will
require digital skills by 2030. This need became apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many businesses had
been forced suddenly to adopt digital tools. The development of these tools played a significant role in their business
resilience throughout the disruption.
Despite high levels of unemployment in East Africa, especially among youth, it is difficult for many businesses to find
individuals who have the digital skills needed. This gap between the digital skills required by the industry and those
possessed by the workforce represents one of the most significant barriers to business growth and development in the
region. In fact, the digital skills gap limits productivity, leading to higher costs, lower quality, and less competitiveness in
a national, regional, or international market.
Furthermore, the skills gap for individuals, especially youth, leads to limited employment opportunities. Lastly, it limits
the socio-economic growth potential of the East African Community (EAC) region. Because innovation and the applica-
tion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by businesses are drivers of socio-economic development
and regional competitiveness. To unlock the potential of ICT for the economy, the availability of digital skills and skilled
workers with appropriate qualifications and innovation capacity is crucial.
To respond to this critical challenge, the Digital Skills for an Innovative East African Industry (dSkills@EA) project together
with its key partner the East African Business Council (EABC) has launched the online matchmaking platform Skillsmatch
(http://skillsmatch-iucea.org) in November 2021. It links young digital talents with businesses for jobs, internships, and
applied master’s theses. The platform uses an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to match young professionals’ digital
skills with your companies’ need for digital skills, ensuring that the top and fitting talents are well matched.
As a business, by joining the platform, you will stay dynamic by bringing profiles aligned to your needs, minimizing your
digital skills gap, and increasing efficiency in your business operations. Furthermore, you will reduce your overhead cost
and administration time as the platform will help you source top talents for your desired digital expertise.
How to Join
1. Visit: http://skillsmatch-iucea.org
2. Register as a company by creating a user profile with all necessary details.
3. Post an offer (e.g. internship, job offer, master’s theses, other).
4. Be matched with top talents and engage with them on Skillsmatch.
For any inquiries
Email: system@iucea.org

dSkills@EA is a regional project that offers digital skills and innovation capacity-building relevant for the digital transfor-
mation of industries and society through academia and industry collaboration.
The project is part of the technical development cooperation between the EAC and Germany.
The political partners are the EAC Secretariat and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
(BMZ). It is implemented by the Inter-University Council of East Africa (IUCEA), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and an East African-German academic consortium.
Currently, dSkills@EA offers:
• Master’s programme for students from the EAC in “Embedded and Mobile Systems” at the Centre of
Excellence for ICT in East Africa (CENIT@EA), hosted at the Nelson Mandela African Institution for
Science and Technology (NM-AIST).
• Trainings for companies, public sector, universities, and unemployed graduates from the EAC Partner States.
• Innovation and entrepreneurship promotion for young innovators at universities in the EAC.

Ports being an interface of water and land-based trans-

ports are gateways for imports and exports entering and
leaving the region.

mainly by Dar es Salaam and Mombasa ports that have
experienced tremendous development that have increase

the (Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport) LAPSSET
Corridor through the Northern Kenya into Ethiopia and

Tanzania has been expanded and modernized to serve
the Mtwara Corridor.
Furthermore, Tanga port in the Northern Tanzania serving

the northern part of Tanzania and neighbouring transit
markets has been dredged to bring ships at the quay to
cut down the cost emanating from double huddling when
ships are received at out anchorage.
Tanga port will also serve as the oil terminal for the oil pipe-
line to be constructed from Hoima in Uganda to Tanga in
Tanzania. In the waterways, the ports of Kisumu (Kenya),
Mwanza (Tanzania) and Port Bell (Uganda) underwent ren-
ovation to improve their cargo handling capacities.

EABC needs to advocate for charging of full CET duties for assemblers importing locally available components to
encourage local buying.
Moreover, it’s important to have assemblers and policy makers provide quality certification services and improvement
programs to guarantee quality products for the market.
We encourage EABC to collaborate with foreign missions, Export and Investment promotion agencies, as well as leading
private sector organizations. This is mainly to foster bilateral trade relations and joint ventures between East African com-
panies and those in other strategic markets such as the COMESA.
At Isuzu EA, we are looking at a brighter future not only for ourselves, but for the entire auto industry in East Africa.
Through support from various partners and the EABC, we can dream of a better automotive industry where 90% of
vehicles driven in the region are locally manufactured.
