Project rationale
Burundi is seen as the weakest link of the East African Countries, and many Burundians ask about the chances that Burundi will succeed in the new dynamic of regional integration. Thus, there is periodic analysis of impacts at various levels, on the opportunities to take full advantage of integration in a progressive way . The success of the integration process depends on the commitment of states to strengthen their economic, social and political relationship through real ownership of the process by the respective populations. It is clear that in Burundi the different stages of the process are not yet mastered, the opinion is under-informed, the content of the various existing protocols is beyond the reach of the majority of the population, and the benefits of integration have not yet been sufficiently explained.
Through advocacy, contribute to an effective integration of Burundi in EAC by an improved investment climate and conditions.
Implementation strategy
TradeMark Africa (TMA) will provide technical support to the Forum for the Reinforcement of the Civil Society (FORSC) to implement this project.
Expected outcomes
- Increased competitiveness of Burundian traders and products
- Increased access to trade and market opportunities information for Burundian traders.
