For capital, neither securities nor direct investment fees for transactions and government services, ceilings on the value of the development of a common market in capital, services, and goods across operations—except repatriation of proceeds from sale of assets—are free transactions, limits on the type and length of projects for service providers, the Partner States of the East African Community (EAC)—Burundi, Kenya, of legal restrictions across the bloc. For services, 67% of identified measures and higher taxes for foreign firms. Some barriers, such as restrictions on Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. negatively affect foreign direct investment. Barriers to the movement of personal capital transactions and on the transfer of shares in firms, affect goods also affect investment: many investors start as traders, then gain even firms seeking to exit a particular economy. The EAC Common Market Protocol is one of the more ambitious confidence in a country’s markets and move production there. But without regional integration agreements globally.

  • LAKE VICTORIA Commercial Agriculture –Especiallycoffee Andcotton–Are Increasingly Important
    © Lonely Planet Publications 240 Lake Victoria LAKE VICTORIA Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest lake, and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. While the Tanzanian portion sees only a trickle of tourists, the region holds many attractions for those who have a bent for the offbeat and who want to immerse themselves in the rhythms of local life. At the Bujora Cultural Centre near Mwanza, you can learn Sukuma dancing and get acquainted with the culture of Tanzania’s largest tribal group. Further north at Butiama is the Nyerere museum, an essential stop for anyone interested in the great statesman. Musoma and Bukoba – both with a sleepy, waterside charm – are ideal places for getting a taste of lakeshore life. Bukoba is also notable as the heartland of the Haya people, who had one of the most highly developed early societies on the continent. Mwanza, to the southeast, is Tanzania’s second largest city after Dar es Salaam, and an increasingly popular jumping off point for safaris into the Serengeti’s Western Corridor. To the southwest is Rubondo Island National Park for bird-watching and relaxing. The best way to explore the lake region is as part of a larger loop combining Uganda and/or Kenya with Tanzania’s northern circuit via the western Serengeti, although you’ll need time, and a tolerance for rough roads. While most accommodation is no-frills, there are a few idyllic getaways – notably on Rubondo and Lukuba Islands, and near Mwanza. Most locals you’ll meet rely on fishing and small-scale farming for their living, although industry and commercial agriculture – especially coffee and cotton – are increasingly important.

    AFRICAN TRANSFORMATION FORUM 14-15 MARCH 2016, KIGALI, RWANDA Event Report Sonia Hoque Overseas Development Institute, London 23 March 2016 INTRODUCTION On 14th and 15th March 2016, the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), in partnership with the Government of Rwanda, convened the first African Transformation Forum (ATF) in Kigali, Rwanda. The ATF was attended by global thought leaders, key private sector actors, active civil society groups, and high-level governmental and intergovernmental organisation representatives. The first objective of the ATF was to facilitate knowledge sharing and peer learning across global and African luminaries. Participants contributed their insights, challenges and solutions for galvanising economic transformation in Africa. The discussions were broadly across two categories: i) the coordinated development and implementation of national development plans; and ii) catalysing transformation within critical sectors, notably: extractives; light manufacturing; agriculture; skills development; entrepreneurship; financial inclusion; infrastructure; and regional integration. The second objective of the ATF was to launch the Coalition for Transformation in Africa – a leadership network organized in chapters, each addressing a specific thematic area. ACET will serve as the Secretariat for the Coalition. Ahead of the ATF, ACET and the Supporting Economic Transformation programme (SET) collaboratively produced background papers (available online) for three sessions. This event report covers the SET relevant sessions. Papers and reports for other ATF sessions are available on the ACET website.
