About the programme
The TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) programme aims to improve trade competitiveness in East Africa by reducing transport time/costs and improving the trade environment. It targets an increase in trade of 10% (above trend 2010-2017), contributing to sustained economic growth and poverty reduction.
The TMEA agency was officially launched in February 2011 as a specialist not-for-profit agency to implement the TMEA programme. TMEA is currently funded by the UK, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Sweden and USA. TMEA's secured budget to date totals about £330 million ($540m).
The programme is currently scheduled until December 2017 with the possibility of a new programming phase beyond that. DFID, acting as Evaluation Manager on behalf of TMEA donors, has commissioned an impact evaluation to assess the impact of the TMEA programme on trade, inclusive economic growth, and poverty reduction.
