| Summary: | One of the most challenging experiences
for businesses involved in cross bordertrade along Kenya’s
border points is the clearance of imports and exports. Until
2015, the process of clearing cargo was largely manual. More
than 29 different government agencies with different roles
in the clearance of international trade goods required
businesses to apply for and submit different sets of cargo
clearance documents. The World Bank Group’s trade and
competitiveness team, through the Kenya investment climate
program, has supported the government of Kenya in
implementing the Kenya National Electronic Single Window
System, also known as the Kenya TradeNet System. This smart
lesson describes the system, how it works, its
accomplishments, and lessons learned along the way. |
