Preparations for the 23rd Edition of the East African Community’s (EAC) micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) trade fair that is expected to showcase the region’s innovations and trade are in top gear.

The trade fair, dubbed, the Jua Kali-Nguvu Kazi Exhibition is expected to attract more than 1,500 firms from all the seven EAC partner States.

Themed, “Connecting East African MSMEs to Enhance Intra EAC Trade,” the exhibition will run from December 5 to 15, 2023 at the Cercle Hyppique Grounds in Bujumbura, Burundi.

The trade fair is expected to contribute towards realising the region’s development goals and aspirations by lending support to this budding sector of the economy, which needs public patronage and government support to make it sustainable. “The trade fairs further create a considerable impact on the image of the sector, which is today seen as the panacea to the daunting question of unemployment and poverty alleviation in the region,” noted the EAC Secretariat in a statement.

The trade fair will also feature a daily symposium aimed at enhancing awareness of and the capacity of MSMEs.
