It is known that one of the NTBs impeding trade in Africa, especially for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), is the lack of clear and accessible information on formalities related to cross-border trade and facilitation tools that are available. Also in the East African Community (EAC) traders find it difficult to obtain information on the goods and services allowed for trade in each Partner State, as well as on the standards and authorisations required, the taxes and tariffs applied, among others. Traders also do not know where to go to for help in addressing the challenges they face as they trade or where to go to file complaints. In partnership with GIZ, the EAC has developed a simplified information pack that describes in a simple and concise language the existing policies, procedures for importing and exporting in the EAC, with the main formalities that cross border traders have to fulfil.

On 17 February 2022 the EU and Kenya agreed to advance negotiations on the conclusion of an interim Economic Partnership Agreement (iEPA). This iEPA is expected to improve trade and investment opportunities and help boost sustainable economic growth and job creation in Kenya. EPAs are free trade agreements initially conceived by the EU to cover groups of countries aggregated in specific regional areas with the purpose of streamlining negotiations with them. However, some of them have been concluded with individual African countries in view of their progressive extension to other countries pertaining to the same region. This is the case of Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Cameroon.
