TradeMark Africa (former Trademark East Africa)

Who We Are
TradeMark Africa (TMA) is a leading Aid-for-Trade organisation founded in 2010 to grow intra-African trade, increase Africa’s share in global trade, and make trade more pro-poor and sustainable. We operate on a not-for-profit basis, funded by a strong coalition of development partners including Canada, Denmark, the European Union, Finland, France, the Gates Foundation, Ireland, the Mastercard Foundation, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. TMA works closely with regional and continental institutions, national governments, the private sector, and civil society to unlock trade and investment opportunities across the continent.
Our Impact
Since 2010, TMA has played a major role in transforming trade and regional integration, especially in East Africa and the Horn. Our work has helped cut cargo transit times by 16.5% along the Northern Corridor (from Mombasa to Bujumbura), and reduced border crossing times by an average of 70% at select one stop border posts. As of 2025, TMA operates in 14 countries across East, West, and Southern Africa and the Horn, with expansion underway in six more.

All opportunities from Trade Mark East Africa are published on DevelopmentAid under Funding Agency "TMA".
