Kenya secures Comesa grant to speed integration

Henry Rotich

The Common Market for Eastern and Southern African has advanced Sh295 million (€2.46 million) to Kenya to facilitate the deepening of regional integration.
The regional body signed the grant with Kenya to give the country access to €2.46 million from the Comesa Adjustment Facility (Comesa-CAF).

The funds will be used to support regional integration programmes.
The facility is expected to tackle various hurdles that have stood in the way of enhancing trade and other cross border activities within the Comesa and East African Community blocs, including addressing issues of tariff barriers along major transport corridors.
