tender Background

About the Funding Agency

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".

Locations

Benin

Benin has been increasing both public and private investment in strategic infrastructure to support economic transformation and regional integration. Major initiatives include expansion of the Port of Cotonou and its logistics capacity to strengthen trade linkages across West Africa, significant public‑transport redevelopment financed with multilateral support, and agricultural infrastructure projects that link rural production with markets. The government is pursuing reforms to improve the investment climate and establish public‑private partnership (PPP) frameworks, supported by development policy financing from the World Bank and concessional loans to bolster economic governance and private sector participation. Continued improvements in transport, energy access, and economic diversification remain central to deepening productivity and inclusive growth.

Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso continues to address infrastructure gaps amid ongoing development challenges by mobilizing external financing and multilateral support for transport, digital and basic services. Recent World Bank‑supported projects are strengthening climate‑resilient road and rail networks to improve connectivity and trade, and expanding digital infrastructure and public services to drive growth and inclusion. Urban mobility and basic infrastructure investments in secondary cities are helping improve access to services and economic opportunities for populations affected by instability and climate shocks. While security and fiscal constraints complicate implementation, infrastructure development remains a core component of the country’s medium‑term growth and resilience strategies.
