Over 1.7 million permits have been processed on the national single window since its launch five years ago. According to Kenya Trade Network Agency CEO Amos Wang’ora 11,400 users are registered in the National Single window, 36 of them being government agencies. The funding from United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) will be used to support the enhancement and usage of the National Electronic Single Window System and implementation of the Maritime Single Window. The journey towards implementing the Kenya TradeNet System commenced in 2012 with the system rolled out in 2014. In the past, TMEA has supported KenTrade in designing a business model and tariff regime that ensure sustainability of the single window service, building capacities of partner government agencies and integrating their systems with the single window system.
