@AnuarSaddat Luckily, the old good Emilio made basic education compulsory. When he left, more than 12M kids had received free education by force. This will be his worst nightmare.
Uhuru àlso made university education accessible. This is where he propaganda may fail.

Kenya is hosting a two-day regional validation stakeholder workshop for the Horn of Africa Initiative (HoAI) Trade Facilitation Roadmap 2026–2031.

The five-year strategic framework aims to deepen regional trade integration, reduce border frictions and align national trade facilitation reforms across Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and South Sudan.

The draft roadmap is the outcome of national consultations conducted across the five HoAI member states between June and July 2026, involving government institutions, private sector stakeholders and development partners. It builds on the first HoAI Trade Facilitation Roadmap 2022–2025 and seeks to advance the region’s trade facilitation agenda through coordinated and practical reforms.

The workshop provides an opportunity for stakeholders to review and validate the proposed goals, activities and timelines,strengthen coordination and align mandates among implementing agencies, agree on governance arrangements and ensure that the proposed reforms are practical, appropriately sequenced and regionally coherent.

The roadmap translates the HoAI’s vision into 14 strategic goals, supported by prioritised activities whose key areas of focus include improving digital interoperability, enhancing corridor governance, simplifying cross-border trade for small-scale traders, strengthening border management and integrating transport and logistics systems into regional networks.

Speaking during the workshop, Kenya’s HoAI National Focal Point, Dr. Kenrick Ayot, reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to championing regional trade facilitation reforms,supporting digital integration and strengthening corridor governance.

He said the country will work closely with member states and relevant stakeholders to build a more connected, efficient and competitive Horn of Africa.

The outcome of the validation workshop will be presented to the HoAI Trade Ministers for consideration and adoption in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in September.

Kenya has concluded the final national trade consultation under the Horn of Africa Initiative (HoAI), bringing together government agencies, the private sector and development partners to validate priority actions aimed at strengthening regional trade facilitation ahead of the Horn of Africa Trade Ministers’ Meeting scheduled for September in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Kenya National Trade Facilitation Committee (NTFC), meeting in Nairobi, reviewed the Horn of Africa Initiative Trade Facilitation Roadmap, a strategic framework designed to reduce the cost and time of doing business across the region while promoting seamless cross-border trade and deeper regional economic integration.

The Kenya consultation marked the culmination of a series of national trade missions undertaken across Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Kenya to identify country priorities and build consensus on practical interventions that will enhance regional trade.

The roadmap proposes a series of strategic interventions, including strengthening collaboration mechanisms for the identification, reporting and resolution of non-tariff barriers (NTBs), modernising border posts and establishing dedicated fast-track lanes for compliant traders, perishable goods and priority cargo to facilitate faster clearance of goods.

Other proposed measures include the development of a regional electronic cargo tracking system, an integrated IT-based road management system, stronger regional and bilateral trade agreements and a regional payment system to support faster, secure and more cost-effective cross-border transactions.

National consultation outcomes will be consolidated at the Regional Validation Workshop and presented to HoAI Trade Ministers for consideration and adoption in Addis Ababa.

Timely access of information on new Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT)measures is key in helping businesses and government to tract regulatory changes,reduce trade obstacles and enhance market access.

For Kenya,improving access to this information will help farmers and exporters adapt quickly to the new changes and stay competitive in the global markets.

The Principal Secretary for Trade Regina Ombam today joined the Cabinet Secretary for Investments,Trade and Industry Lee Kinyanjui during the official opening of a two-day regional workshop that brought together government officials,policy makers,regulators,the private sector and development partners to explore how SPS and TBT measures affect agricultural exports.

The workshop also seeks to share practical ways to improve transparency and help small businesses meet market requirements.

CS Kinyanjui emphasized the need for farmers and exporters in the country to understand market standards to remain compliant and competitive.

Themed “Beyond Tariffs: How Standards and Regulations Shape Agribusiness Competitiveness” the workshop was organized by the State Department for Trade in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) and the International Trade Centre (ITC).

Trade remains a critical enabler of industrialization,serving as the bridge between production and markets.

A strong industrial base cannot thrive without efficient trade logistics, predictable market access frameworks and supportive policy measures.

The Principal Secretary for Trade Regina Ombam speaking today during the 3rd Industrialization Conference at KICC reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing market access, diversifying exports and reducing trade barriers to create an enabling environment for local industries.

Through active participation in regional and bilateral frameworks—including the AfCFTA, EAC, COMESA, the Kenya -EU and UK EPAs and the Kenya–UAE CEPA the PS said Kenya continues to expand opportunities for locally manufactured goods and deepen integration into the continental and global economy.
