Summary
This report compiles different proposals for future support of GTZ (and possibly other
donors) to the integration process of the private sector (PS) in the East African
Community (EAC).
GTZ has a track record of PS cooperation with the East African Business Council
(EABC), so far the only regional PS association with a widespread regional
membership from various economic sectors. Nevertheless, there are voices from the
PS in the region who feel that EABC alone cannot shoulder the multitude of tasks
and challenges that the PS faces in the light of globalisation and intensified
regionalisation.
Therefore the proposals in this report take these concerns into consideration and
suggest a system of issue related support to national and regional associations
including the EABC.
Based on a still to be established roadmap of regional PS issues and topics, a
consortium of relevant associations under the leadership of the most relevant
regional association (including EABC) applies for support in the preparation of a
position paper/draft law or other of regional concern.
This support can be on national as well as on regional level. It is directed to a high
extent to issue related capacity building of associations with focus on networking,
national and regional public-private dialogue (PPD) and possible other principles still
to be established by the PS through their associations.
There are various possibilities how this support can be structured. The consultants
describe three different ways: (1.) A kind of House/Network of the PS in Arusha
where Sector Coordination (SC) through initially donor funded advise takes place
from within the network. EABC may play a prominent role because of its long
standing experience in lobby work with EAC. (2.) Because of this experience EABC
coordinates the process with its existing infrastructure Sector Coordination is
attached to EABC. (3.) EABC plays a leading role in the coordination of the network
because of its existing infrastructure Sector Coordination is outside the network in
the form of an independent Project/Programme Management Unit (PMU). Whichever
proposal will be chosen, it should lead into an arrangement where on regional level
the coordination will continue by sourcing competence and capacities from members
of national and regional associations.

1. Methodology
This study was launched by the GTZ-EAC Programme for its private sector (PS)
component. The Terms of Reference (ToR) hereof are attached to this report as
Annex 1. The team working on the questions raised in these ToR consisted of Ms
Gabriele Noack-Spaeth (team leader), Mr Stanley Karuga (responsible for Kenya), Mr
Eric Ndahayo (Burundi, Rwanda) and Dr Samuel Nyantahe (Tanzania, Uganda). The
team leader visited all five countries and worked during her visits jointly with the
respective regional consultant. All regional consultants led additional interviews
without the team leader before or after her visit. At the beginning and the end of the
team leaders mission to East Africa intensive briefing and de-briefing sessions took
place in Arusha where the consultants and the GTZ programme head as well as
representatives (staff and advisor) from EABC were present.
The organisations and individuals visited and interviewed by the consultants can be
seen in the individual schedules in Annex 2. Most persons met were representatives
of national and regional PS associations. There were also talks with relevant public
sector representatives from governmental bodies, export or investment promotion
agencies, ministries or parastatals. The interviews were based on a questionnaire
which is attached in Annex 3. This questionnaire contains the main data, which are
requested by the GTZ-EAC Programme to be compiled in an inventory of major
business and professional associations in the five East African States, on their
professional and organizational competence and their interest in regional integration
matters.
The main results from the interviews, which are listed in paragraph 4 (in brief in
Annex 4), as well as the rough structure of proposals as made in paragraph 7 of this
report, have been discussed with staff members of the EABC secretariat and the
GTZ programme head.

Regarding the density of population, Burundi is among the densly populated
countries in Africa. Burundi's economy is dominated by agriculture and livestock
with over 90% of the population engaged in subsistence agriculture. Coffee and tea
are the main export crops. Coffee provides roughly 50% of export earnings, which
are thus vulnerable to international coffee prices and seasonal yields. Tea and cotton
are the cash crops with a high potential but remain with a very small contribution to
Burundis GDP.
Burundis government institutions remain still fragile and are constantly confronted
with lack of human as well as financial resources. In this context, the government has
not succeeded so far to create a real partnership or public-private dialogue (PPD)
with the private sector.
The current Chambre de Commerce, dIndustrie et dAgriculture is officially the apex
organisation for the private sector. However, it has been laminated by internal
conflicts since years, resulting in loss of credibility and credits from both government
and most of its members.
With the support of the European Union through the ARCANE project, a restructuring
process is underway to set up a federation of the private sector, composed of sector
oriented professional chambers, with branches in the main cities of the country. The
process is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
2
Burundi together with Rwanda joined EAC in June 2007 and a Ministry for Regional
Integration and EAC Affairs has been created in 2008. The country expects many
benefits from its integration to EAC. Apart from economic interests, EAC can play a
key role in the stabilisation of the political situation in Burundi. However, the Burundi
integration faces many challenges of which the most important ones are:
Access to information regarding the integration process as Burundi is a
francophone country and French is not a working language of EAC.
Lack of competitiveness, which may results in absorption of the national
industry by the most competitive enterprises from other EAC member
countries
Lack of skilled labour, a result of two decades of civil war
Poor infrastructure: roads, port, airport, electricity and water.
Apart from these specific issues, Burundi shares common issues with other EAC
member states. Burundis accession to the EAC in 2007 has resulted in improved
regional economic ties. Complementing this process, the government will maintain a
strong diplomatic focus on EAC members. Rwanda and Burundi are co-operating
militarily, and increased economic co-operation is also expected.
ii. Kenya
Kenyas population is now estimated at 38 million people; while GDP by 2007 was
estimated at US$ 29.3 billion with per capita estimated at US$ 455 in 2006.
Estimations for economic growth were at 6.1% in 2006. Performance of Kenyas
economy is heavily dependent on the agricultural sector which provides livelihood to
approximately 80% of the countrys population. The sector accounts for 62% of
national employment, 60% of export earnings and contributes about 24% of GDP
directly in addition to another 27% through linkages with other sectors.
After experiencing moderately high growth rates during the period 1963 and 1973
which averaged around 6.6% per annum, the countrys economic performance during
the 1980s and 1990s dropped significantly to below its potential with the economy
growing at an annual average rate of only 1.5% between 1997 and 2002. This was
below the population growth estimated at 2.5% per annum, leading to a decline in per
capita incomes. The decline in economic performance, especially of the agricultural
sector, in the last two decades has been largely due to inappropriate agricultural
policies, inadequate credit, and poor international terms of trade.
3
From 1991 to 1993, Kenya had its worst economic performance since independence.
Growth in GDP stagnated, and agricultural production shrank to an annual rate of
3.9%. Inflation reached a record 100% in August 1993, and the government's budget
deficit was over 10% of GDP. With governments concerted effort towards economic
reform measures the economy began to recover after 2002, registering 2.8% growth
in 2003, 4.3% in 2004, 5.8% in 2005, 6.1% in 2006, and 7.0% in 2007. However, this
positive trend was reversed by the 2007 post-election violence which paralyzed the
economy not only internally but also trade with neighbouring countries. Tourists fled,
and agricultural production in the breadbasket Rift Valley region where the violence
was most intense was crippled. The manufacturing sector had to cut back operations
by 70%, as unsafe roads prevented movement of workers, inputs, or products.
Congestion at the port of Mombasa seriously slowed down imports and exports.
The signing of a reconciliation agreement on February 28, 2008 between the two
main political parties helped in putting the economy back on track. However, the
damage to agriculture, tourism, consumption, investment, and the financial, transport,
and construction sectors in the first quarter of 2008 is expected to shave economic
growth in 2008 from the 8% forecast to anywhere between 4-6% though this will also
strongly depend on what happens with regard to the current world recession that is
beginning to bite.
Kenyas private sector has over the years substantially contributed to the countrys
economic development process. Recent data indicate that the sector contributes over
80% of the GDP, a substantial percentage of total employment, and the bulk of
export earnings. The major growth sectors are trade, restaurants and hotels,
agriculture, manufacturing, finance, insurance, real estate, business support
services, transport, communications and storage. The sector has proofed its
resilience despite various external and internal shocks that were experienced during
the 1980s and 90s, and has also contributed significantly to diversification of export
markets and range of export products.
External shocks include terrorism attacks in 1998 and 2001, which affected the
tourism industry, import bans on fish at the end of the last and beginning of this
century, trade wars which have affected tea exports, and various market entry
constraints in the EU which have affected the horticulture industry.
4
On the domestic scene, there are various challenges that continue to affect the
investment climate for private sector activities, including uncompetitive infrastructure
and utilities, unfriendly legal & regulatory framework for business operations,
cumbersome trade facilitation and administration procedures, low levels of labour
and capital productivity, a constraining macroeconomic business environment, high
rates of crime, insecurity and poor governance, high level of corruption, and an
unfriendly environment for micro and small business operations. Measures to
improve the investment climate include tight fiscal and monetary discipline, a
comprehensive reform agenda on all production and operational environment,
diversification of export markets for traditional products, a focused value programme,
continued dialogue with countries and regional blocks that provide the major export
markets, and a concerted effort to improve the operating climate for micro and small
enterprises. All these need to be urgently addressed so as to retain current
investments and attract new investors, as a basis of facilitating the sector to drive the
economys revival, a necessary condition for increased employment, reduction in
poverty levels.
5
the poor performance of the economy especially within the agricultural and
manufacturing sectors. Coupled with these factors is the weak implementation of
policies and regulations. Consequently, the ability of the private sector to contribute
significantly to the countrys economic growth has declined, with investor confidence
experiencing a downward trend. This has resulted in decelerated foreign direct
investment (FDI) and slow growth in local investments. In such an environment,
investment plans tend to be short term at best. Indeed, a significant number of local
and foreign entrepreneurs have moved to neighbouring countries such as Tanzania,
Uganda and Ethiopia.
The PSDS initiative, which was launched in December 2006, aims at building on the
wide range of ongoing government initiatives in order to ensure that the best interests
of the private sector are served in the course of implementing ongoing reforms. It
also takes into account and advances interventions proposed under the Investment
Climate Action Plan (ICAP) developed in March 2005. The PSDS lays out a holistic
policy framework for growth in Kenya covering five broad pillars:
Improving Kenyas business environment;
Accelerating Public Sector institutional transformation;
Facilitating growth through greater trade expansion;
Improving the productivity of enterprises, and
Supporting entrepreneurship and indigenous enterprise development.
Although significantly well developed compared to several other countries in the East
African region, the national framework for organizing, promoting and encouraging
private sector participation in economic development in Kenya is still at the early
stages of evolvement. The government has so far formulated the Private-Public
Partnership guidelines under the public procurement Act of 2005.
The new "Vision 2030" strategy, which aims to lift the country to middle-income
standards, was adopted as the official development framework on July 1st (the start
of the 2008/09 fiscal year). The first phase (until mid-2013) calls for investment of
US$25bn on a range of projects, including new transport, power and telecoms links.
Although it will be difficult to secure enough funding, at least over the forecast period,
Kenya will seek public-private partnerships but will first need to build an appropriate
regulatory system. The strategy also has a social pillar, based on skills
enhancement, improved security and land reform.
Although there are still several channels through which dialogue between private and
public sectors takes place at the national level, the main institutional framework
6
constitutes the Private Sector Working Groups which work closely with the Ministry of
Finance and the Ministry of Planning and National Development. The Kenya Private
Sector Alliance and the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) are among other
private sector groups which are represented in the Sector Working Groups
mentioned above.
At regional level, the Ministry of EAC is the main public institutional organization that
links private sector stakeholders in Kenya with the EAC Secretariat while the EABC is
considered the main private sector based organization that provides this link with the
EAC Secretariat.
iii. Rwanda
Rwanda is a poor country with an economy based largely on subsistence
agriculture. Intense demographic pressure, shortage of arable land, and its
landlocked situation are three critical problems in Rwanda's economic development.
New challenges arose with the 1994 genocide which resulted in catastrophic
changes to the country's economy.
Rwanda is one of the least urbanised countries in Africa and has by far the highest
rural population density on the continent. The average size of smallholdings is less
than one hectare, which is generally too small to sustain farmers, let alone provide a
marketable surplus. Still agriculture holds an important part in the Rwandan GDP
(36.6% in 2007).
Rwanda has a small industrial sector, 80% of its manufacturing industry is in food
and beverages. There is also limited chemical and pharmaceutical production, and a
very small textiles and clothing sub-sector. Industry contributed with 21.3% to GDP in
2007 (MINECOFIN, 2007). About half of this was accounted for by manufacturing
and the remainder by mining, construction and energy production.
As some 60% of manufacturing by value is in food processing, particularly brewing,
domestic manufacturing industry was protected by a wide range of tariffs prior to
1994, but the government has since then dismantled nearly all of them.
Manufacturers who have battled to adapt must now cope with even stronger
competition following the entry into the EAC. Another big problem for the sector is the
high cost of electricity, because of the increased reliance on diesel generators by
both manufacturers and the energy parastatal, Electrogaz. The sector has, however,
7
proven to be resilient mainly because of growing domestic demand and as a
consequence real annual growth in manufacturing output in 2007 was estimated at
7.8%, the same as in 2006.
The tertiary sector is dominated by commerce and tourism. The latter is considered
as a major pillar of Rwandan economy, with an expected 120 mio US$ generated
income in 2008. The tourism industry centres on 3 National Parks, of which the most
known is Virunga National Park in the northwest, where gorillas may be viewed in
their natural habitat.
With reference to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Rwanda has
elaborated its long term strategic plan, Vision 2020. This is considered as
the general framework for all medium and short term development plans
of the country. The current medium term strategic plan, Economic,
Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) emphasizes on
good governance, the promotion of key export oriented sub sectors and the
Vision 2020 UMURENGE which is a program targeting the most poor and
vulnerable population.
8
obtaining construction permits, a reduction in the time and cost of registering a
property, and changes to customs procedures, which significantly reduce the time it
takes to import and export goods. Commercial courts have been established in each
province and they have quickly acquired a large backlog of cases. In mid-September,
the total case backlog was reported to stand at 3,000. Commercial courts will start
using digital rather than manual recording of proceedings in 2009, which are to be
placed online. Despite improvements in the ease of doing business in Rwanda, it will
need to build on this success as it still ranks behind Kenya (82), Uganda (111) and
Tanzania (127) in the East African region.
Rwanda has strongly declared its commitment to make the private sector the driving
force in all strategies aiming at improving economic growth and social welfare. The
private sector in Rwanda is characterised by family business, small and medium
sized enterprises, cooperatives and a few large companies. Regarding its
organisational structures, the Rwanda Private Sector Federation (RPSF) was
established in 1999 to replace the then Chambre de Commerce et dIndustries du
Rwanda, which was a government biased institution. The RPSF is an apex
organisation and is the private sectors representative organization at national
level. Its mandate is focused on advocacy for a conducive business and investment
environment, private sector capacity building as well as business facilitation through
a network of countrywide business development centres. RPSF is composed of 7
professional chambers and 2 crosscutting chambers, the Young and Women
entrepreneurs. The chambers are formed by business associations. For details on
Rwandan Private Sector Federation, its chambers and Associations, see Annex 5.
9
Language is still a barrier to information on EAC issues as most Rwandans
are not yet English speakers (the Rwandan government announced in October
2008 that French would cease to be an official language, leaving Kinyarwanda
and English as Rwandas two official languages).
iv. Tanzania
Tanzanias economic reforms spanning from the mid 1980s to 1990s transformed the
country from a centrally planned socialist oriented and administratively controlled
economy to a market oriented and private sector driven economy. The shift meant
that increasingly, the private sector had to play a leading role in the development of
an economy that would essentially be governed by market forces. The government
would focus on providing a conducive environment for business.
On the political front, liberalisation meant political pluralism and improved
governance with greater provision for various actors in the economy to participate in
policy dialogue with government, and accordingly articulate their interests in various
fora. It is in this context that it was accepted that the private sector in particular had
to gear itself to seize the opportunity to contribute to the development agenda by
effectively participating in policy dialogue consistent with the participatory approach.
This would assure commitment to programmes and projects as well as sustainability.
Given the past command led economic policies which had marginalized the local
private sector in all dimensions, the private sector in Tanzania had continued to be
small with limited capacities. The challenge therefore was to promote private sector
development and enhance its capacity to enable it participate effectively in the
emerging competitive global economy.
In carrying out its functions the private sector, as an important partner of the
government, has to maintain a continuous dialogue with the government. This meant
that the private sector operators had to be organised in order to conduct a focused
and coherent dialogue. It is against this background that the Tanzania Private Sector
Foundation (TPSF) was established in November 1998 as the apex private sector
coordinating body in Tanzania.
Hence the mission of the Foundation is to promote private sector led socio-economic
development in Tanzania by:
providing member associations with services they need,
understanding and representing their common interests, and
10
engaging in an effective dialogue with the government, aimed at influencing its
economic policies and improving the overall business climate in the country.
The TPSF brings together private sector business organisations, economic NGOs
and key public institutions established to spearhead the development initiatives of the
private sector in Tanzania. It is a not-for-profit organisation but is registered as a
company limited by guarantee. The Foundation is voluntary, consultative and
charitable. TPSF was started by 33 founding organisations in 1998 and by November
2008 it had an active membership comprising 61 associations and 23 enterprises
(corporate members) nationwide. Members include chambers in all the key sectors
such as commerce, mining, agriculture and manufacturing, as well as other entities
relating to the private sector such as Employer Associations, Private Sector Bodies,
Investment Promotion Agencies, Export Promotion Boards, Business Registration &
Licensing Authority, Consultancy Associations and Engineering & Construction
Registration Board.
TPSF is the private sector representative in national policy formulation initiatives. The
Foundation has successfully participated in the public-private dialogue in addressing
the following issues:
macroeconomic policy reforms relating to:
o taxation, competition (dumping, smuggling), bureaucratic constraints,
corruption, customs and licensing procedures,
investment incentives for domestic and foreign investors
export promotion strategies.
addressing infrastructure constraints
the legal and regulatory framework and its effect to the business environment;
and
development of a Consultative Mechanism through establishment of the
Tanzania National Business Council,
preparation of the following key policies:
o SME Policy,
o Trade Policy, and
o The Economic Empowerment Policy.
TPSF participates in regional integration and international trade fora and is a member
of the East African Business Council (EABC).
In the past the Tanzania Government had dialogued with the private sector on an ad
hoc basis. Sometimes there was no clear follow-up mechanism on decisions made.
11
Economic and political liberalisation in Tanzania stimulated demand for formalised
public-private sector dialogue in the context of smart partnership. This demand
culminated in the institutionalisation of a consultative mechanism in the form of the
Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC) which was established in April 2001 but
became only operational in March 2002 as an independent forum for dialogue,
consultation and addressing of constraints to investment and business
competitiveness in Tanzania. TPSF played a key role in the development of this
consultative mechanism through the formation of TNBC and the ultimate aim is to
create a conducive environment for a private-sector led socio-economic growth.
The Tanzania National Business Council is the highest consultative organ between
the private sector and government in Tanzania. It has 40 members with the President
of the United Republic of Tanzania as its Chairman. Members are drawn from both
the public and private sectors. The government nominates 20 members including one
from the academia, and the TPSF, the apex body of the private sector, nominates an
equal number from the organized private business sector. One of those
representatives from the private sector comes from the labour movement.
The National Business Council provides a forum for public and private sector
dialogue with a view to reaching consensus and mutual understanding on strategic
issues related to the efficient management and development of the national
economy. In addition it aims at encouraging and promoting the formulation of
coordinated policies and social and economic matters including considering existing
and proposed social and economic legislation and to make recommendations
through the Government to Parliament or other appropriate bodies. It also
participates in the review process and proposes changes in the policy environment to
enhance the attractiveness of Tanzania for direct investment and improve on
competitiveness of Tanzania products in the world market.
At regional level the Ministry of East African Cooperation is the main government
institution that links public and private sector stakeholders in Tanzania with the EAC
Secretariat. The EABC is the main private sector based lobby organization for that
same link of private sector stakeholders with the EAC Secretariat.
v. Uganda
Uganda, acknowledged as a fast reformer, recorded robust economic development
and growth averaging 6.8 percent in the period 19902003 (World Bank, 2004),
12
thanks to political stability and to prudent macro economic reforms that imposed
fiscal discipline, restructured public expenditure, and liberalized the economy. The
reforms were implemented following a period of civil conflict (the 1970s and early
1980s) that saw Ugandas economy spiral out of control. Key reforms successfully
implemented included
the enactment of an Investment Code offering opportunities, incentives and
protections to domestic and foreign investors,
an independent role for Bank of Uganda, the central bank, enhancing its
capacity to manage the strengthened financial sector;
overhaul of the trade regime and abolition of state commodity marketing
monopolies; and
privatisation of public enterprises.
Although Uganda has one of the better investment climates and the most liberal
trade regime in the region, much still remains to be done. But there is a commitment
to lowering investment risks and reducing the costs of doing business, by
implementing efficiency-enhancing reforms, strengthening key institutions, and
providing better physical infrastructure.
The wide-ranging reforms have resulted in a radical improvement in Ugandas main
economic fundamentals and provided a strong platform for sustained economic
growth. The rapid recovery of Ugandas small but important industrial sector
illustrates this point. Industrial production increased at an annual rate of about 13%
during the 1990s, although this fell to about 7% during the five years up to 2005. The
current electricity shortages, has hit manufacturers badly. Manufacturing output fell
by 1.6% in 2005/06, recovering by only 2.5% in 2006/07. Ugandas manufacturers
are also worried about the threat of competition from Kenya when internal tariffs
between members of the EAC are dismantled in 2010. The government is seeking to
attract more foreign investment into the sector (the 2007/08 budget introduced new
tax incentives for manufacturers), and in 2007 a World Bank report commended
Uganda for its pro-business environment.
Publicprivate sector dialogue has been a major factor driving Ugandas reform
process. Indeed, the evolution of a strong publicprivate partnership presents
interesting lessons for countries aiming to structure a successful consultative
dialogue in a post conflict or emerging economy context.
13
Towards the end of the 1980s, the Ugandan economy was lacking the most basic
commodities, the inflation rate was over 90 percent, and a sudden collapse in the
price of coffee, the countrys only export commodity at the time, had precipitated a
currency crisis. At the beginning of the 1990s, both the Government of Uganda and
key stakeholders in the economy had recognized that they needed to pull together to
face the serious challenges of economic recovery.
A major outcome of this realization was the launch of the Uganda National Forum in
1992. The Forum was seen as a way to stimulate private sector investment and
promote export development. The initial core group effectively steered a larger
partnership including opinion leaders, catalysts, believers, skeptics, and others. The
Forum had a well-defined organizational structure, with clear mandates for its
working committees. It held a high level annual conference, attracting world-class
speakers to provoke new thinking, with a strong mandate to conclusively define the
countrys reform agenda. The Forum ran only for 5 years, and while it lasted it
provided a dynamic platform for key economic stakeholders to articulate business-
friendly and growth-promoting policies, working on such initiatives such as the
liberalization of interest rates, improved tax policy and administration, an export
strategy, privatization, and public utility reform, among others. Starting from a
background where government bureaucrats were more familiar with a command and
control approach to policy-making, the forum worked hard to eliminate the high level
of mistrust that had existed between the public and private sectors and to consolidate
an emerging culture of participation. Participation of high-level leaders from business,
government, and academia provided a deep reservoir of power and knowledge to
exert influence in the public policy arena.
As the depth of concern about the Kenyan threat among the business communities
like in other East African countries is also evident in Uganda, it is most probable that
non-tariff barriers are to be maintained, and could even be increased, as tariffs are
lowered. Uganda is dragging on in joining the free-trade area within COMESA,
largely because of concerns over the impact of zero tariffs on its manufacturing
industries and on government revenue. The EAC currently appears to be the higher
regional priority then COMESA for Uganda.
14
vi. EAC Integration
The East African Community (EAC) is a regional intergovernmental
organisation comprised of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and
Burundi. A previous attempt at creating an East African Community
collapsed acrimoniously in 1977. Efforts to revive regional co-operation led
to the relaunching of the EAC on January 15th 2001 by the founding
members, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, with the new members, Rwanda
and Burundi, joining on June 18th 2007.
The main accomplishment of the EAC to date has been the creation of a
Customs Union, which came into force on January 1st 2005 (Rwanda and
Burundi have been given an additional year to comply with the customs
union since joining). The customs union provides for free trade between
the member states, with the proviso that members can still impose tariffs
on selected Kenyan manufactures for an interim five-year period. It also
sets a common external tariff (CET) for trade with the outside world of 25%
for final goods, 10% for intermediate goods and 0% for raw materials.
Following the implementation of the customs union, the EAC has tried to
harmonise fiscal and monetary policies with a view to implementing a full
common market and monetary union. This harmonisation process has
included the adoption of measures to avoid double taxation; budget
consultation between finance ministers; and the establishment of a
Monetary Affairs Committee. Various other institutions have also been
formed, and the three countries are in the process of implementing joint
projects in energy, transport and immigration. The EAC currently plans to
move towards a full common market by 2010 and possible monetary union
in 2012, but this is likely to be delayed by the recent addition of Rwanda
and Burundi to the community and the need to harmonise a large swathe
of regulations and legislation including labour laws, taxes and investment
regimes. Ultimately, there are plans for an EAC political federation, with
citizens of each country voting for an East African federation president, a
parliament and the creation of a Supreme Court with increased decision
making authority.1
A swift economic, political and social integration in East Africa is an important and
realistic undertaking. First successes like the East African Customs Union or the
signing of an EPA with the EU are signs in the right direction which pose important
challenges. Despite these positive signs it seems that the integration process is
determined by lack of dynamics. More commitment from the political leadership side
as well as a broader civil dialogue on integration issues would be necessary to
intensify the process. The development and more transparent shaping of the
integration process should be based on a more effective contribution of a civil
society, which politicians cannot oversee or neglect. It is therefore imperative for the
1
EIU, Uganda, Country Profile 2008
15
broad diversity of civil society in the region to more deliberately structure regional
solidarity, networking and platforms for action. This is important, both to achieve intra
national objectives as well as address the regional integration process.
Also in this context the draft constitution for an East African Federation has to be
seen. The discussion of such a document could be instrumental in the development
of a vision that is based on comprehensive and common regional values.
Furthermore this discussion could intensify the participation of the civil society in the
integration process based on better and more detailed information. Preferably this
process could also lead to necessary structural changes within the EAC. A solid
economic development process, which addresses explicitly the problem of existing
regional and social discrepancies, is considered an indispensible base for the
creation of a political East African Federation.
As for economic integration in general, so far it has not brought the promised and
desired results for most countries and people yet, particularly in Africa. Inequality and
insecurity are rising. International organisations, which are expected to provide
platforms for global governance, meaning the management of common global
affairs, have been criticised for inefficiencies, ineffectiveness and a democratic
deficit. These organisations are looking for their identities and roles and are
struggling with necessary structural reforms, particularly in order to allow countries
of the South a greater say. With these institutions still providing the best global
governance framework available (recent financial crisis management indicated that
there can be flexibility if needed), Eastern African countries need to actively shape
their necessary reform processes.
Even more affected by recent developments is the crisis of ideas. The paradigm
that has shaped globalisation and that has been promoted by all international
institutions has not lived up to its promise: Neo-liberalism has not only failed to bring
benefits to many of those who subscribed to it, but is questioned since the
unconditional belief in free markets has been replaced by the understanding that
markets need to be governed and their results often corrected by strong democratic
institutions. Consequently, economic policies and issues of governance should not
be discussed separately. In reforming both the institutions and the underlying
paradigm, emerging powers will play a paramount role. Hence, Eastern African
countries need to identify ways in order to design national and regional development
16
strategies that allow them to negotiate the terms of trade and investment under the
perspective of new developments. In order to be able to do this effectively, Eastern
African countries have to harmonise their positions and pool their bargaining
resources. The role of regional bodies within the global arena needs to be debated in
greater detail. If Africa wants to become more influential and pro-active in the global
arena, regional bodies have to play an increasingly important role also as a bridge
between national and global governance. Pooling resources in sub-regional bodies
(such as Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, COMESA, or the East
African Community, EAC) will surely increase Africas weight. However, in Eastern
Africa, this requires that the debate about integration strategies and priorities has to
be intensified; both regional and global governance cannot be left to governments
alone, but has to involve all stakeholders, i.e. private sector associations and trade
unions. An essential prerequisite, therefore, is a willingness to acquire knowledge
and develop relevant capacity within those interest groups. By taking up international
issues and challenging their governments on their foreign and trade policies, civil
society can spark the political interest in those affairs and thereby ultimately bring
about the missing political will to look beyond national borders and engage
meaningfully in regional and global governance.
While generally, the member nations of EAC are largely in favour of the East African
Federation, informal polls indicate that most Tanzanians have an unfavourable view.
Tanzania has more land than the other EAC nations combined, and some
Tanzanians fear land grabs by the current residents of the other EAC member
nations. Land scarcity is a recurring issue in East Africa, especially in Kenya,
Rwanda and Burundi.
In a potential boost to intra-African trade, 26 country representatives from three of
Africas regional trade blocks, the East African Community (EAC), the Common
Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Southern African
Development Community (SADC) agreed, in theory, at a summit in Kampala in
October 2008, to work towards the formation of a single trade group. Kenya belongs
to the EAC and COMESA. At present, the EAC has made the most progress towards
free trade (followed by COMESA), but some countries belong to more than one
block. Tanzania, for example, is part of the EAC and SADC but not COMESA, which
creates significant obstacles. The Kampala communiqu calls for the harmonisation
of trade arrangements, the free movement of businesspeople and joint action to deal
17
with infrastructure constraints (i.e. the expansion of transnational electricity links).
The three blocs will now devise a "roadmap" for a single free-trade zone, and a
tripartite council of ministers will meet within 12 months to settle on a timetable for
implementation (with the ultimate aim of establishing a single customs union). Many
challenges remain, however, given the varying stages of development of member
states, the perennial problem of non-tariff barriers and the shortage of funds for
infrastructure investment. Apart from the potential boost to trade (which Kenya could
take advantage of), a single trade block would give member countries a much
stronger and more cohesive voice in global trade negotiations.
Based in Lusaka, Zambia, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern
Africa (COMESA) is the successor organisation to the regional Preferential
Trading Area (PTA), and came into force on December 8th 1994 with 12
members. COMESA presently has 20 members: Angola, Burundi, Comoros,
the Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya,
Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sudan,
Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. COMESAs main focus is on the
formation of a large economic and trading unit that is capable of overcoming
some of the barriers that are faced by individual states. This aim is to be
achieved through monetary union with a single currency and a common
central bank; the creation of a Free Trade Area (FTA) on October 31st 2000
was to be a major step towards achieving these. By the end of 2006 13 of the
20 members had agreed to participate (Burundi, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt,
Kenya, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Sudan, Zambia and
Zimbabwe). The 13 FTA members have removed all barriers to trade
between themselves, granted trade preferences to the COMESA members
that are not part of the FTA and retain tariffs on imports from outside
COMESA. The proposed move from the FTA to a customs union with a
common tax tariff structure has now been set for the end of 2008, but further
delays are likely. The envisaged tax structure is a zero rate for capital goods
and raw materials, 10% for intermediate products and 25% for finished
goods. The target of full monetary union by 2025 remains, but seems
improbable. Much of the intra-COMESA trade has been concentrated within
a few of its members. Reasons for the low level of intra-COMESA trade
include a lack of political commitment and stability in member countries and
weak balance-of-payments and foreign-reserves positions. In some cases
there are hardly any official trade links between member states. A further
constraint has been the strict and cumbersome rules of origin, which are
open to conflicting interpretations, and there have been some instances of
member countries refusing to honour the relevant certificate of origin
presented with COMESA imports. In addition to these impediments, progress
towards free trade is hampered by political tensions between member states.
Moreover, attempts at promoting cross-border investment and monetary
18
harmonisation have been superseded by initiatives introduced by the EAC
and the SADC.2
GTZ cooperates with East African PS associations since 2003. In a first phase (2003
- 2006) focus was on cooperation with the East African Business Council (EABC) and
on central issues of the regional integration process. Already during the second
phase (2006 2009) cooperation with the EABC was continued with a phasing out
strategy and extended to new partners like the East African Farmers Federation
(EAFF) and the East African Trade Union Council (EATUC). Furthermore sector
issues were taken up with national and other regional partner associations. Objective
was to contribute to the capacity building of these partner organizations to enable
them to represent effectively their members and to lobby successfully for their
political and economic interests.
With the intensification of the East African integration process, and particularly the
implementation of the East African Common Market and the planning of the
Monetary Union, it is felt that the questions being discussed within the EAC and its
decision making bodies are more challenging. This led to the launch of this report
with the intention to have investigated whether an adaptation of the EAC-GTZ
Programmes approach to this new situation is appropriate, and to develop a concept
on how to intensify the cooperation with more specialized professional associations
representing a specialized membership and competence.
As GTZ has stated in the ToR for this study, most of these organizations are
presently even not yet organized at regional level. Others are in the process of doing
so outside the EABC. The importance of regional presentation seems to be accepted
by most organisations like it was disclosed in interviews with commercial and
investment banks, liberal professions, industrial sector representatives and industries
related to international trade.
On the other hand the meetings of the consultants in the five East African countries
have confirmed the assumption of GTZ in the ToR for this study that so far PS
associations in East Africa are to a large extend focusing on national issues and are
2
EIU, Uganda, Country Profile 2008
19
not yet in a position to deal with regional matters. Most of them seem to have only
limited capacities and are confined to a relatively small and weak membership. As
much as these organisations appreciate what EABC has done in the past to integrate
the PS in East Africa, there are strong voices who call for a more sector specific
handling of regional issues.
The past cooperation of GTZ with EABC has been based on the objective to build up
the capacity of EABC as the strong and unique voice of the East African private
sector. Over the years there have been substantial developments in building EABCs
capacity as well as its professionalism. The EABC is the only private sector
association which has so far observer status with EAC and it considers itself to be
the preferred partner of EAC in private sector matters.
Nevertheless, the objective of the GTZ-EAC programmes PS-Component reads as
follows: EABC and other regional business associations lobby successfully for
private-sector interests in the integration policy dialogue. The result of the PS project
component is formulated: Lobbying capacities of regional business associations are
enhanced. This resulted in collaboration of the GTZ-EAC programmes PS
component with two other regional associations, the EAFF and EATUC.
Despite this relatively recent collaboration with other regional associations EABC was
the main partner of GTZ based on EABCs role as the main PS driving force behind
the integration process.
This is the role, which EABC holds and wants to maintain. Meetings of the
consultants in the five East African countries indicated that on the other hand, the
EABC - being the only voice of the private sector in East Africa -, is in its present
form not supported unanimously. The following paragraph 4 of this report describes
some of the main reservations the interview partners from the PS have mentioned in
this respect. Therefore the intention of the EAC-GTZ Programme is not too farfetched
in increasing the transparency in the landscape of business associations so that
development processes can be initiated with a view to improve the situation and
enable these associations to participate more actively in regional discussions on
economic and social policies.

4. Key issues identified in interviews
Issues raised by a cross section of respondents during the study fall into two main
categories, EABC and regional integration-related issues. Some of the issues were
mentioned by respondents across all EAC member states though a few were also
country specific.
Autonomy of EABC
There was concern among a significant number of respondents in Kenya, Uganda
and Tanzania that EABC was gradually losing its autonomy by virtue of its move
towards being integrated into the EACs operational structures. The reason for
concern in this regard is that it would compromise its role as an advocate of the
private sector. The members felt that the granted observer status puts EABC close
enough to EAC for the necessary interaction.
Information Management
One of the key roles of the EABC Secretariat is to collect, collate and disseminate
relevant information to members on regular basis. Ideally, such information should be
issue-related as well as considering national specificities. Some of the stakeholders
consulted feel that the quality and quantity of information from the EABC Secretariat
to the members is inadequate and not regular. This was particularly emphasized by
stakeholders in Burundi and Rwanda, where alternative sources of information is yet
to be well established. Additionally, some stakeholders felt that there has been
inadequate sensitization and publicity of EABC itself and regional issues.
22
part of the Secretariat to utilize any available resources including those of their
members. To augment their capacity, the Secretariat could effectively utilize existing
expertise and competence of its wide variety of members, numbering 120 as of
September 2008. This could be in the form of soliciting technical support, formation
and involvement of experts in task forces. This fact was underlined by many
interviewees who complained that they have no say in position papers of the EABC.
Involvement of members would increase ownership.
23
Capacity Building of Member Organisations
The strength of any regional apex body is dependent on the strength of its members.
Comments by some respondents and observations by the team of consultants
indeed confirm the weak capacities of national as well as some regional associations.
This calls for targeted capacity building interventions to members and strategic
organizations in relation to the overall EAC integration agenda.
b. Regional Issues
24
Private Sector Roadmap of Regional Integration Matters
The main emerging issues raised by various respondents related to infrastructure
including energy and transport network, financial issues, land issues, and social
issues.
Infrastructure: The main concern in this respect is about the poor state of
roads and connectivity (inter and intra states) and access to energy. Critical
issues with regard to energy relate to inadequate electricity supply, high cost
and outages. The poor state of roads, high cost of energy and frequent
outages all lead to high cost of doing business and thereby adversely affecting
regional and global competitiveness.
Financial Issues: Whereas the ultimate goal of the EAC is to achieve political
integration, the intermediate steps of common market and monetary union
have to be realized. While there has been considerable progress towards
establishing the common market, there is concern that monetary integration
issues are not being given the consideration they deserve. It was observed
during the study that this is not even an agenda amongst Bankers
Associations in the region.
Land Issue: Land is an important resource in the region. During the time of the
interviews, respondents informed the team of the contentious issue regarding
access and utilization of land by non-nationals within the EAC. This largely
arises from lack of harmonized Land Policies and Regulations but also from a
situation where Tanzania seems to be the only state with land still available.
Social Issues: Article 3 of the EAC Common Market Protocol clearly states the
need to accelerate economic growth and development within the EAC through
the attainment of free movement of goods, labour, services, capital, persons,
as well as right of establishment and residence. While this is the case, the
concern of the private sector is that in reality free movement has not been
attained mainly because of continued existence of Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs).
Lack of a uniform labour policy, social standards and procedures including
25
transferability of social security benefits across the member states remain as
serious concerns among EAC residents.
Non-Tariff Barriers
The Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) have been a major subject of discussion
amongst the EAC member states as well public and private sector stakeholders.
These NTBs are of concern because they have a bearing on the cost of doing
business especially in terms of money and time loss. Under the Business
Climate Survey, the NTBs have been classified into six clusters, namely: (i)
customs documentation and administrative procedures, (ii) immigration
26
procedures, (iii) quality inspection procedures, (iv) transit procedures, (v) police
road blocks, and, (vi) business licensing and registration.
EABCs initiatives of conducting a study on NTBs in the EAC region and the
Proposed Mechanisms for their elimination are commendable. However, there
are concerns that serious efforts by the relevant institutions have not been
instituted to address the issues and that their effects on the ground are still
having negative impact on inter-state business.
Language Barriers
Many of the residents in the new member states - Rwanda and Burundi - still
use French as their main language of communication. The official and
communication languages of the other member states are English and Swahili
respectively. Many of the respondents from the new member states expressed
the need for translation of EAC integration related information into French as the
process of teaching the English as the official language.
5. Conclusions to Analysis
The intention of this report is not an evaluation of the past work of EABC or of the
collaboration of GTZ with EABC. The main tenor in all interviews in all five countries
was very positive with respect to EABC in a sense that the achievements so far have
been very impressing, showing to most interviewed interlocutors new ways and
instruments in PS organisation and development especially concerning regional
matters. Therefore this report wants to indicate to the PS component of the GTZ EAC
Programme which ways could be taken to respond to some of the concerns that were
27
expressed during interviews and what could be the role of GTZ and possibly other
donors in this process.
The request of many interview partners for more sector specific support with their
regional problems as well as the request for more pro-activity of EABC was the
thread running through all the conversations in all five countries. This is
understandable when one reflects how complex on one side and extremely specific
on the other side the economic integration process of such diverse countries like the
five East African states is. How can an organisation like the EABC react to this? As
the meetings with representatives of the EABC Secretariat indicated many of the
critical issues are known to the EABC staff3 and remedial activities of all kinds have
already started or have been intensified.
Nevertheless, the consultants got in this context the impression that EABC is to a
certain extent stuck in structures it cannot imagine to be altered and - as a
consequence - improved. This is the impression from a background paper4, brought
to the attention of the consultants while in the field and which contains proposals for
a future engagement of EABC which do not go beyond the present horizon. This
might also explain the harsh reaction of EABC secretariats staff, when the following
proposals of the consultants were presented to them during a debriefing session at
the end of the mission beginning of December 2008 in Arusha. One of the
arguments, which were stressed again and again, was that it is the EAC Secretariat
which wants the submissions of the regional private sector filtered and prepared by
the one and only PS voice in the region, the EABC.
As much as the argument of the advantages of one unique private sector voice in the
East African context is intriguing it is also not correct in this form. The consultants
want to underline that it is necessary to speak as one PS voice, but it is not obligatory
that there is only one organ to speak out. To the contrary the consultants feel that
there is urgent need for competent sector, or issue specific representation that
develops opinions, position papers or points of view, which are based on a broad and
transparent process within the PS and which are based on a procedure that allows

the organisation with the most competence in the relevant issue to take the lead in
this process. This process would assign to EABC a prominent coordination role, as it
has the best infrastructure with respect to lobbying with the EAC and it has the
longest and most intense experience in collaboration with the EAC.
The multitude of issues in regional integration which will have to be developed and
negotiated in the near future5 are beyond the competence of one association alone;
not to speak of the necessary capacities, which go way beyond the frame of one
association.
Despite a situation where the public-private dialogue in the region is generally still
very weak or not in existence, the way forward should include mechanisms which
support the enforcement of this dialogue on national as well as on regional level.
The consultants see a strong necessity for a structural process that results in a
competent unique PS voice at regional level. It has to develop in a transparent and
competent process the necessary issues with respect to integration, relevant to the
whole East African PS. To show that there are different methods to achieve
solutions, this report provides various ways for answers not least because the
consultants feel there might be a wide range of implementation possibilities based on
the number of other donor organisations which might join in if a well structured
proposal is at hand.
The core of all the proposals as described under paragraph 6.b of this report is the
following line of action:
A donor (i.e. GTZ) or several donors finance(s) for a limited period of time (a
minimum of two years, preferably four years) three Sector Coordinators (working
title). Two Sector Coordinators cover two priority sectors each, most likely based on a
PS roadmap of regional integration matters; and one Sector Coordinator covers one
sector and coordinates all activities. This coordinator of all activities has to guide the
two others in methodology and concept, has to develop the expansion of the concept
5
See paragraph 4.b.
29
when more donors step in. This has to be done in an innovative way beyond the
traditional well known advice usually given to PS associations.
The priority sectors could be: (a) Finance, (b) Manufacturing, (c) Trade, (d)
Agriculture and Natural Resources and (e) Infrastructure, Energy and
Telecommunication. These correspond widely with the topics which were brought up
by interviewees during the mission of the consultants in the field. The following
issues were predominantly mentioned:
Infrastructure (Energy, Transport Network)
Financial Issues
Land Issue (Tanzania)
Social Issues (Labour Mobility, Social Standards/Transferability of social
security benefits)
Harmonisation of Standards
National PPD (National Negotiation Structures)
Enforcement of CET and Resolution Framework

This process, which is supported along the line by a Sector Coordinator and takes
into account the following principles, is described in detail as follows:

o indicate that a national PPD on the issue is envisaged and aimed at,
o build in networking on a regional level, and
o have composed an issue related working committee of relevant and
competent regional and national private sector actors.
The working committee is coordinated and supported by the Sector
Coordinator (4).
The working committee produces a regional PS working paper, to which all
relevant national associations have contributed, i.e. national positions and
recommendations have been considered, built in, balanced, etc. (5)
The paper is discussed at national levels, where possible national
recommendations might be established (5/6)
The working committee works again on the paper and produces a Regional
PS Paper, which is the base to influence the national governments as well as
the EAC (7).
After inception of the implementation (which might only take place after some
time needed for EAC procedures) an obligatory monitoring process has to
start, which needs competence and capacities especially on national level (8).
This national monitoring process has to be steered and coordinated by the
relevant regional association which might still keep the working group active
for this purpose.
There will be national reports to be evaluated and used for updates of initial
Regional Paper, which will have to be brought to the attention of EAC and
national governments for update of their decisions.
This process might be a continuous one, why a structured national and
regional PPD is imperative.
As much as the above procedure seems complicated it should be seen that the
requirements for the implicated tasks are complex and therefore the above process
as described in Table 1 is the aimed at procedure, which might be watered down
depending on time, funds and competence available. But as all interview partners
asked for more participative and transparent action, the inclusion of the national
PSOs in the process is obligatory. This means also for them, to accept their
obligations and responsibilities along the line. It takes time and money to create the
necessary motivation. EABC insists that this has been initiated without success and
therefore many activities have been implemented single handedly, which on the
other side national PSOs complain of. This circle has to be interrupted and amongst
others, because of this the element of competeition has been introduced in above
32
proposal, i.e. those PSOs which do not actively contribute will not receive support
from the programme in capacity building. This being a crucial element of the
procedure will require time and funds, especially as there will also be no ready made
solutions. What works with one PSO will not be appropriate for another one.
Next to this specific competence and capacity building process the consultants have
identified an urgent necessity for qualified and specific information to all levels of the
civil society as described in paragraph 4. It is therefore obligatory that information on
regional matters and issues is intensified and improved. There is an extreme
ignorance on all issues concerning regional development. Implications of regional
decisions on economic actors or individuals are generally not known.
Support in the structuring and creation of this flow of information could be done under
the umbrella of the PS component or if the focus is on general public information
under the general umbrella of the EAC programme.
If included in the PS component and through this more specifically focused on the
impact of regional decisions on economic actors, there could be an extra Coordinator
for Information, who could advise the relevant regional association on information,
which issue related has to accompany the process as described in table 1. There
must be more innovative ways and means (inter- and proactive, use of internet8,
radio, TV) for distribution of relevant information. Capacity building for national and
regional associations in this field is imperative.
Last but not least there should be a short comment on the desired and important
implication of the EAC Secretariat in regional PS matters. The Secretariat should
give enough attention to PS issues of importance and competently react to proposals

33
from the PS. It is one of its tasks to create an enabling environment for the regional
PS. This requires an open ear for the PSs needs and issues. It is felt by the
consultants that there should be in the meantime enough experience and openness
from the Secretariats side for innovative procedures. The restriction of the
collaboration with and reference to only one PS organisation would not give the right
signal to the PS.

A rather big solution - with need for more donor funds from outside GTZ would be
the support for the creation of a platform for a PS network in East Africa. This could
be a centre (a kind of House of the Private Sector) in Arusha, which provides office
space for various East African PS associations, preferably with an outstanding role
for EABC10. EABC has the longest and most intensive experience in lobbying with
10
Quote from EABCs Strategy Report: Public Private Sector Dialogue. It appears that dialogue has
been taking place to inform policy formulation and implementation. However, the way the dialogue is undertaken,
is far from being institutionalized, especially at the highest level of political governance. There is need therefore,
to have a structured dialogue between the EABC and the public sector of the partner states in order to fast track
34
EAC in Arusha and therefore could be instrumental in shaping the structure of the
network with reference to a regional PPD. The network would be advised by the
sector coordinators, who would be attached to it in line with the procedures in table 1.
As much as this solution could boost the development of a solid PPD on regional
level, it seems that the establishment of such a structured network based on donors
initiative would not be sustainable in the long run as it requires a big amount of funds
and it is doubtful that on regional level such a centre could be financed later through
PS contributions alone. The consultants therefore consider this proposal as
desirable, but not feasible in the short to medium-term.

The Sector Coordinators are with EABC in Arusha, i.e. can make use of EABCs
infrastructure. The network of East African associations remains loose without a fixed
structure. Support for the PS would be along the line as described in table1. The
consultants see in this relatively lean solution the danger that the coordination and
policymaking and implementation process. Such an institutionalized dialogue process will ensure that private
sector concerns are adequately addressed and mainstreamed in the policy making; and that the concerns receive
requisite commitment and attention from the EACs top leadership. The proposal here is that the dialogue should
be chaired jointly by the .Presidents of the partner states.
35
consolidation of the network will not happen as ownership of national and regional
associations is lacking as much as it is presently. Attachment of the sector
coordinators to EABC would give the wrong signals to the sector-related national and
regional associations with the danger of further splitting.

Sector Coordination is done initially from a PMU. Donor support for this PMU is
envisaged for a limited period (two to four years) and the PS has to decide in which
form continuation of sector coordination will take place (integrated as described in the
two other proposals or independently) after the initial donor finance is phasing out.
The consultants see many advantages in this proposal. The regional PS can develop
a strategy for its future structure (a process that should be supported). At the same
time opportunities for support are for EABC as for other associations alike. The
requests, which meet the above, under paragraph 6a stipulated requirements, will be
considered independently without any bias and irrespectively from which association
they are originating.
The process of structuring a qualified regional but also national PPD should be
supported open towards all associations that qualify to steer or lead this issue
related process. EABC still has the biggest chances to be that leading association
because of its longstanding experiences and its regional structure. Nevertheless, it
seems that concerns of national PS associations regarding neglect of their opinions
and competences could be best dispelled through this procedure.
37
All above proposals should lead into an arrangement where on regional level the
coordination will continue by sourcing competence and capacities from members of
national and regional associations.
The team leader of the consultants had in her initial proposal strongly requested for a
stakeholder workshop at the end of the consultants mission. Unfortunately such a
workshop could not yet take place. Therefore the proposals made in this report have
not been discussed in detail with a broader spectrum of stakeholders from the region.
Only EABC staff and their advisor were amongst those who discussed the various
proposals and the principles behind them. EABC staff reacted harsh and unwilling to
further discuss the proposals. Their reaction went that far to threaten to turn to other
donors if GTZ would go along the lines of these proposals. This reaction was
unjustified and should not be taken too seriously. Nevertheless, as described above
the challenges immanent to these proposals are on one hand very demanding to the
PS associations, but on the other hand they entail the basis for necessary change
which is inevitable in the light of global and regional developments.
It is therefore strongly recommended to foresee as soon as possible the proposed
stakeholder workshop, which brings from all five East African member countries
stakeholders in PS development together to discuss the way forward for the
envisaged regional PS support. Participants in such a workshop could be:
Issues to be dealt with should be derived from the results of the consultants report,

Furthermore the workshop should focus on:
Such a workshop could be the base for the necessary broad discussions that lead to
a regional process of PPD based on national structures which contribute with
competence to the development of a regional PPD. Furthermore the proposals made
under paragraph 6 can be specified in more detail with input from the relevant
stakeholders.

1. Background
GTZ has started to cooperate with East African Business Associations already since
2003. In a first phase (2003-2006) the focus was on an intensive cooperation with the
East African Business Council (EABC) and on central issues of the regional
integration process. Later during the second phase cooperation with the EABC was
continued but with a phasing out strategy and extended to new partners like the East
African Farmers Federation (EAFF) and the East African Trade Union Council
(EATUC). In addition sectoral issues were taken up by this component together with
national and regional partner associations. The basic objective was to contribute to a
strengthening of these partner organizations and to enable them to represent ef-
fectively their members and to lobby successfully for their political and economic
interests.
With the deepening of the East African integration process, and particularly the
implementation of the East African Common Market and later the Monetary Union,
the questions being discussed within the EAC and its decision making bodies
become more and more sophisticated and diversified. It is therefore necessary to
adapt the EAC-GTZ Programs approach to the new situation and to develop a
concept on how to intensify the cooperation with more specialized professional
associations representing a specialized membership and a specialized know how.
These organizations may presently not yet be organized at regional level even if this
already now seems very important for example in the case of commercial and
investment banks, liberal professions, specialized industrial sectors and industries
related to international trade.
As to our present knowledge, business associations in East Africa are generally still
focused on national questions and are not yet dealing so much with regional
questions. Most of them seem to be quite small with a limited potential for the
moment and a very limited representativity for their respective industries. We are
seeing a need to increase the transparency in the landscape of business
associations so that development processes can be initiated like in other parts of the
world with a view to improve the situation and enable these associations to
participate more actively in regional discussions on economic and social policies.
This component needs now a broader and updated concept but will continue to play
an essential part in the future Program design.
The basic objective is to develop a new concept for component no. 3 of the EAC-
GTZ Program support to the EAC Integration Process specifically in the field of
cooperation with business associations not yet organized and represented on the
regional level but representing a membership which is directly concerned by specific
aspects of the East African integration process.
4. Expected activities
The Team leader of the mission is expected to carry out the following activities:
Analyze the East African Common Market study and the model Common
Market Protocol as well as any other document etc. to sort out which economic
questions, activities and sectors in the different Partner States are important to
the regional economy or need to be focused for different reasons.
Focus on a limited number of issues and sectors of strategic importance for
the development of the regional economy.
Develop a strategy on how EAC-GTZ could sponsor this process and what
would be the most appropriate instruments in terms of for example: expertise,
training, financial support, organization and logistics
Discuss how GTZ could strengthen the capacities of the EAC to dialogue and
partner with business associations
Discuss if GTZ should promote selected national associations and contribute
to foundation of regional sectoral business associations
Develop a concept to favor future lobbying activities at a regional level and
closer to the EAC institutions; different organizational settings may be envis-
aged.
Define the role of the EABC in a new EAC-GTZ cooperation strategy :
o Strategic role and nature of its relationship with other professional as-
sociations
o Service provider for other professional associations in terms of for ex-
ample: Know how on the EAC, experience in lobbying and repre-
sentation of interests, organizational and logistical services in Arusha,
organizer of seminars and conferences, studies and publications
o Common EAC-GTZ activities and financial implications
The regional consultants are expected to carry out the following tasks:
5. Methodology
Intensive traveling will be needed to visit all the 5 Partner States and study the
situation of existing business associations.
The travel will be prepared by concise internet research and documentary
studies.
After the country visits the consultant will have discussions at the Arusha level with
the different services concerned and with EABC before the report writing starts. At
that point a workshop will take place to provide an opportunity to stakeholders and to
EAC staff to comment on the findings of the mission and to make recommendations
to the mission.
6. Calendar
The implementation of this study will be prepared by the EAC-GTZ Program team.
GTZ offices in the 5 Partner States will provide support in terms of organization and
logistics. National institutions as well as professional and business associations will
be informed timely by GTZ.
8. Expected product
The consultant will prepare a report which will contain three major parts:
The team will be composed out of 3 consultants. The team leader will have a broad
experience in working with business associations and chambers in different countries
and master English as well as French. He will be assisted by two regional experts
with deep knowledge of the situation of business associations in the EAC Partner
States. One of the regional experts will focus on Rwanda and Burundi and the other
on Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Whereas one will be specialized in economic
institutions and organizations in East Africa, the other expert will have a background
in economics and economic analysis. The expert responsible for Rwanda and
Burundi masters French perfectly.

Major Organizations Interviewed in KENYA
1
1. Kenya Investments Authority-KenInvest
Main Reason (s) for being KenInvest has interacted with EABC since its
Member inception. However, EABC has not been as active
as KAM and KEPSA for what KenInvest considers
to be partly attributed to low technical and
institutional capacity. The idea of having a regional
business representative lobby organisation is noble
but EABC has not been effective in its role to the
level wanted. KenInvest receives EABC Newsletter
regularly but sees no much value in it.
Dissemination of information by EABC not good,
e.g. KenInvest has never seen the East African
Business Survey Report.
Main Reason for being non- N/A
member
Regional relationships: Member of the East African Investment Agency
(EAIA) covering Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda,
Burundi and Zambia. The agency has no office as
such. It operates on rotating official representative
(chairman & Secretary) with the current
chairmanship being held by Tanzania.
(v) Activities, Clientele and Key Regional Issues of Concern
Activities (priorities, campaigns, KenInvest Investor facilitation brochure, TV and
publications, public relations etc: Radio advertisement
Target Clientele: Potential investors
Regional issues of interest, Lack of free movement of people;
problems and concerns NTBs related constraints inhibiting effective and
efficient cross-border trade;
Lack of harmony of national policies between EAC
member countries;
Barriers to enhanced competitiveness of business in
the region largely due to poor infrastructure, high
cost of electricity and fuel;

(iv) Membership
EABC Member-if yes, since Member of EABC since inception in 1997
when?

regional lobby group/organisation such as
EABC and has been consulting regularly on
matters pertaining to market access, facilitation
of cross border trade; border posts operations,
and free regional trading services and
movements of people and goods. EABC-a good
forum for networking and has performed well on
research work on NTBs. EABC being a regional
body not well positioned for negotiating for
private sector as it covers all EAC countries
making effective negotiations difficult. EABC
should play the role of coordination and
observer-not negotiations as national
associations can lobby through their respective
governments.

On the argument that their members (EAFF)
are small farmers whereas EABC membership
is for the large businesses and farmers.
Have applied for observer status with EAC
thus sees no need for EABC membership as

Regional issues of interest, EABC has a potential role to play but it is
problems and concerns unfortunately not sustainable;
EABC should remain regional focused but
linked to national apex bodies;
EABC must become relevant to
stakeholders as subscription fees must be
seen to be bringing value to payers;
EABC lacks value addition at the moment;
EABC could have value addition if focused
on facilitating regional businesses in the EAC;
Tanzanias actions towards integration have
been erratic-what role has EABC played in
this regard;
EABC must embrace independent thinking
and approach for broad based advocacy;
EABC lacks self drive/initiative;
EABC must strengthen knowledge base &
management for effective policy advocacy
Suscipicion among member states;
Continued NTB-a major constraint to
effective integration

Regional issues of interest, Un-harmonized/lack of standardization of

parks e.g.TZ charging US$ 100 when Kenya is
charging US$ 10 per person;
Lack of unified marketing strategy for EABC
which is essential for bringing down the unit
cost and promoting EAC as a common
destination for tourists-yet animals have know
no borders-NB the great annual migration which
transverses across Kenya and TZ;
Lack of harmonized rules and procedures on
wildlife management including hunting; Note TZ
allows hunting of wildlife through licenses but
Kenya does not allow it at all, yet this is a
common resource;
High variance in standards for law
enforcement and penalty, with Kenya being far
too lenient on relevant offences compared to
TZ. Thus more poaching reported in Kenya than
TZ;
Inadequate framework to facilitate regional
research in relevant subject areas;
EABC not adequately facilitated from the
point of view of capacity and KWS has been
negotiating on various issues within the EAC
through the East African Tourism and Wildlife
Council;

Decrease of airline commission for
USA/Europe travel from the previous 6-8% to
zero;
Lack of safety for clients-increasing
insecurity;
Decrease in in-bound air traffic (into Kenya

its members for clients;
EABC should help national umbrella bodies
to develop their strategic plans and capacity-
i.e help EABC to help national BMOs to help
their clients/members
EABC should help towards sustainability of
its operations (solicit seed capital from donors
and well-wishers)-out-source technical

41
18. General Motors
Activities (priorities, campaigns, Direct lobbying and engaging EAC
publications, public relations governments on policy and regulatory reforms
etc: towards integration through EABC and other fora
such as KEPSA, KAM etc
Target Clientele: N/A
Regional issues of interest, Very slow process towards regional integration;
problems and concerns High and unwarranted suspicion among
member states;
Frequent violation of custom union protocols by
some member states-e.g. Common External
Tariffs (CET) protocols varied at will. A notable
example is that although the CET for finished
products was set at 25% Tanzania still charging
10% for buses/trucks from other markets; prime
movers are charged 10% duty as opposed to the
CET that was set at 25%-leading to unfair
competition from imports.
Inadequate consultations with private sector-i.e
regional issues seem to be driven more strongly
by political processes
Lack of a clear institutional framework for
resolutions relating to regional trade issues
leaving those affected confused on whether to
use the legal , political or other processes;
Lack of policy for industrialization in the EAC
where some actions are not supportive- for
example in the last budget imports of infrigerated
trucks were exempted from duty within EAC yet,
General Motors can produce these products-but
are discouraged because of the unfair
competition;
Frequent and unfounded contention over rules
of origin-this has been left to member customs
department to determine giving too much room
for subjective decisions;
Some protocols set inappropriately e.g. Value
addition set at 35%, import content limited to
below 60% and change of tariff heading are far to
stringent for firms to achieve;
Lack of uniformity in verification of cross border
trade protocols-with respective customs
departments exhibiting very subjective practices
reflecting vested interests among member states.
There is need for an independent body to avoid
these problems.
Lack of motor vehicle assembly regulations for
EAC except in Kenya-which means investors can
do what they want without reference to any
standards.
Lack of harmonization of standards between
42
18. General Motors
member states- e.g. under the KS 15 15,
importation of left hand vehicles and any type of
vehicle more than 8 years is not allowed, yet in
the rest of the countries such rules do not exist
hence leaving a loop hole where one can import
and register in one country and move the vehicle
to the another country.
Lack of national or regional policy on
industrialization-(If GM was at the stage of
deciding where to invest; EAC would not be
among the choices). There are no special
incentives for investors. Note the anti-dumping
tax was waived leaving room for these
malpractices to continue.
Lack of strict adherewnce of the EABC
strategic Plan which was well articulated because
of political pressure;
Although there has been improvements,
consensus among the among the 20 EABC
directors- 4 from each member state was difficult
to reach as each representative was inclined
towards national interests.
EABC must endeavor to be self sustaining if it
has to become independent and effective in
carrying out its role as a regional non-partisan
organization;
Need to carry out needs assessment for all
stakeholders (potential and current members),
build the findings into its work programme-
essential for making the work of the organization
relevant to stakeholders which would attract more
membership. EABCs work must add value to
subscribers for it to attract membership;
The ultimate positioning of EABC should be to
represent stakeholders through national apex
organizations, not primary level organizations
which at times results in conflict with apex
organization members on account of competing
for the same membership.
