Nairobi, Kenya 29th April 2024

In a landmark move aimed at streamlining citizen services and ensuring the integrity of Kenya’s citizenship registry, a workshop was convened at the Kenya School of Government in Nairobi. Led by Prof. Amb. Julius Bitok, Principal Secretary of the State Department of Immigration and Citizen Services, along with counterparts from the State Department of Internal Secretary, the workshop focused on outlining registration guidelines for border and cosmopolitan counties.

Central to this initiative is the introduction of the Maisha Card, which every Kenyan will receive at birth. The Maisha Card, essentially a digital identification, will serve as a multifunctional tool for accessing citizen services. It will function as a driving license, birth certificate, identification document, university admission number, and national examination identification.

This isn’t the first time such a digital identification system has been proposed by the government. Previous attempts were made during the administrations of President Kibaki and President Uhuru Kenyatta. However, this latest effort aims to overcome past challenges and successfully implement a comprehensive digital identification system for all Kenyan citizens.

The workshop brought together key stakeholders, including government officials, legal experts, and civil society representatives, to collaborate on refining the registration guidelines and ensuring a smooth rollout of the Maisha Card system. With a focus on transparency, inclusivity, and efficiency, the government aims to transform the way citizen services are accessed and administered in Kenya.

TradeMark Africa Launches Third Safe Trade Zone Market in Moyale

Empowering Women Traders Amidst Cross-Border Challenges


Moyale, Ethiopia, 27th April 2024: Small-scale women traders play a crucial role in economic growth and regional integration, yet they face numerous challenges, especially in cross-border trade within regions like the Horn of Africa and East Africa. Moyale Border exemplifies these hurdles, from harsh environmental conditions to lengthy clearance procedures and high transaction costs. Additionally, the lack of secure trading spaces exposes women to risks such as theft and harassment, further hindering their economic activities.



In response, TradeMark Africa (TMA) with funding from Irish Aid and EU-IGAD Covid-19 Response programme and in partnership with local administration in Moyale and the Government of Ethiopia, has today launched a Safe Trade Zone (STZ)facility in Moyale. This is the third such market that TMA has constructed in the region with the others located in Tog Wajaale – one Ethiopia side and the other Somaliland side.



The Moyale Safe Trade Zone market will accommodate 207 women traders, providing them with a secure and conducive environment to conduct business. The initiative marks a significant step in addressing structural barriers hindering women traders’ participation in cross-border trade, in Ethiopia and Kenya.



The permanent structure is equipped with sanitation facilities, market stalls, water systems, prayer rooms, breastfeeding rooms, and power rooms. This provision of social safety systems, such as breastfeeding rooms, alleviates concerns for young female traders, allowing them to focus on business without worrying about childcare.



Mr. Getachew Deressa, Director from Oromia Trade office said: ‘’TMA with the construction of this facility will contribute for employment and income generation for the women traders in Moyale. Moreover, we encourage this type of international partners to invest on initiatives that solve the economic challenges of our people. We believe TMA’s support will continue in other parts of the region.” 



Whilst speaking prior to the commissioning of the facility, Mr. Ewnetu Taye, Ethiopia Country Director, TMA said: “TradeMark Africa is committed to the importance of promoting inclusive trade practices in nurturing economic development and empowering marginalised communities. Our agenda is to cultivate opportunities for all traders, particularly women, to thrive within the cross-border trade environment. Through the establishment of safe trade zone markets, such as those we have initiated in Moyale, we not only facilitate trade but also champion gender equality and empowerment. This enables women traders to enhance their economic standing. TMA also constructed similar facility in Tog Wajaale Ethiopia and Somaliland sides.”



In addition to providing a trading space, the market will serve as a hub for training targeted women traders and facilitate business integration among border communities. TMA, in collaboration with local administrative officials, will provide business skills, entrepreneurship training, and hygiene and sanitation training for food safety. These efforts aim to empower women traders to scale their businesses successfully and manage the market effectively.



Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic severe impact on women cross border traders, TMA initiated Safe Trade Zones. They are designed as secure trading spaces compliant with health protocols. Strategically located at key borders such as Kenya’s Busia, South Sudan’s Nimule, and Ethiopia and Somaliland’s Tog Wajaale, these zones have become pivotal in the economic recovery efforts for women engaged in cross-border trade. Research conducted by TMEA and UNECA revealed that COVID-19 led to businesses losses exceeding 90% for women traders, highlighting the need for targeted support to aid their recovery.
