Trade in the East African community : facilitation measures & potential benefits

Trade is growing rapidly among the countries of the East African Community (EAC) -- (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda), expanding the volumes of goods crossing their borders.

Members of the EAC, together with other African countries, have recognised the importance of improving these aspects of trade.

This book outlines recent efforts by the EAC countries to improve trade facilitation measures.

It also describes the potential benefits to EAC countries of improved trade facilitation, based on a review of empirical studies and the experiences of other developing countries.
