Based in Nairobi, TradeMark East Africa was established in 2010 as a result of an initial UK initiative to support the East African Community (EAC) in international trade (aid-for-trade). The organisation became TradeMark Africa in January this year. The new identity marks the extension of its activities to the whole of sub-Saharan Africa in line with African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which is also reflected in the opening of a first office in Accra, Ghana, announced at the same time.
TradeMark Africa is in the process of structuring the Trade Catalyst Africa (TCA) multi-donor fund to scale up its activities. David Beer, an Oxford-educated Briton who has worked for the World Bank, the British diplomatic network and several NGOs (Medair, Tearfund), has been the managing director of TradeMark Africa since September 2022. The manager explains the action and purpose of the Trade Catalyst Africa fund for Africa Business+.
