Description
Diagnostic assessment of the underutilisation of the East African Community (EAC) regional bond issuance framework
Deadline: 10-Jun-26 @ 12:00pm (EAT)
The East African Securities Regulatory Authorities (EASRA) and FSD Africa seek to engage a qualified firm or consortium (the “Consultant”) to undertake a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the underutilisation of the East African Community (EAC) Regional Bond Issuance Framework, established in 2015. Despite the framework’s aim of harmonising cross-border approval processes through a singlepassport mechanism, no regional bond has been issued under it since its enactment.
The objective of this assessment is to identify the various factors including regulatory, operational, institutional, market, and gender and youth-related barriers that have hindered utilisation of the framework and to provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations to strengthen regional capital markets integration and facilitate future cross-border bond issuance across EAC Partner States.

Locations
Burundi
Burundi faces significant infrastructure deficits, particularly in energy, water and utility services, which constrain private sector growth and broader development. Recent investments co‑financed by the World Bank, African Development Bank, European Investment Bank and the European Union have expanded electricity generation through new hydroelectric plants and are improving access to clean water and sanitation services for hundreds of thousands of people. Ongoing sector reforms aim to strengthen institutional performance and attract private participation in service delivery. Despite these gains, national electrification rates and infrastructure coverage remain low, highlighting the need for sustained investment, improved governance and expanded connectivity to support inclusive economic growth.

Dem. Rep. Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has stepped up infrastructure investment to strengthen connectivity and stimulate economic development, including road rehabilitation, airport upgrades and improved access to markets supported by external financing from multilateral partners. Infrastructure remains critical given the country’s vast size and low access to electricity and reliable transport; projects such as road corridor development and expansion of trade logistics aim to unlock mineral value chains and agricultural markets. Strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing public-private partnerships and improving governance are key to translating these investments into inclusive growth and diversification beyond resource exports.
