Our platform not only leverages the ubiquity of mobile phones, but also deploys web-based options to enhance delivery channels of the information necessary for East Africa's cross-border traders.

Our Impact

Middy Amule, Cross-Border Trader,
Busia, Uganda

“With African Marketplace now, at the comfort of my couch or kitchen, I can get all the business and customs information I need right in my cheap old phone. I’m now more confident to pass through the gazetted route and not scared of personally clearing my goods".

Edna Mudibo, Cross-Border Trader,
Busia, Kenya

“African Marketplace is like a secret partner in my business – it’s there to give me information before I go to the market and help me estimate my profit. Before I even leave my house I know the price of groundnuts in Gulu and Lira, the current exchange rate and the amount of tax I will pay”.
