| dc.description.abstract | This study addresses trade facilitation on export performance in Kenya by tracking the achievements and implementation using Kenya as a case. The study uses descriptive research design and data for the study were mainly secondary data. The study found that as a result of implementation of trade facilitation initiatives, performance in trade, FDI inflows and trade taxes collection in all EAC countries have improved significantly. Kenya is performing well than the rest of EAC countries on external border agency cooperation, governance and impartiality while Tanzania performs better than other EAC countries in FDI inflows and contribution of export to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The study found a significant positive relationship between countries’ trade facilitation and export performance. Facilitation was found to have no significant relationship on FDI flows. The major setbacks of trade facilitation are non-tariff barriers, transport infrastructure, inadequate human resources capacity, and low level of automation. | en_US |
