dc.description.abstractSince operations began in July 2000, the East African Community (EAC) has continued to pursue the consolidation of key regional integration achievements. The EAC has thus implemented several measures to promote the free movement of goods and services across borders. In spite of the above however, one of the barriers to trade that makes it difficult for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is the lack of easy access to information and inability to understand it where it exists. Traders find it difficult to obtain information on the goods and services allowed for trade in each EAC Partner State, the standards and authorization certifications required, the taxes and tariffs expected in each Partner State, the import and export laws of each Partner State, the trade processes and controls, the rules of origin and the customs procedures among other details that are important for successful trade within the region. Furthermore, traders 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.
