Non-tariff barriers hindering regional trade growth
Despite multiple protocols signed by East African leaders to eliminate non-tariff barriers (NTBs), many remain in place, and new ones continue to emerge, hindering regional trade. In response, stakeholders from the East African Business Council (EABC) are meeting in Kampala to discuss strategies for urging individual countries to remove NTBs. The goal is to enhance regional trade and strengthen economic integration among member states.
