Naftali Elude Mzota, a driver for the Impala Shuttle Company in Tanzania, has been driving between Tanzania and Kenya for over 23 a long time.
 Inquired by almost the challenges of crossing the border, Mzota sighs.
“Customs clearance utilized to be a genuine challenge here since there were two borders. You had to go through at the Tanzanian immigration office, and after that repeat the work out on the Kenyan side.
It utilized to require between one and a half and two hours,” he said, smiling. “That’s all changed presently.
When travelers arrive, it doesn’t matter which side they come from, a single checkpoint does all the organization and they are able to carry on over the border.”
The arrive border between these two East African nations, presently has fair a single border post. This project, the One-Stop Border Post, was set up at Namanga, a town of 16,000 inhabitants that straddles the Longido Area in Tanzania and Kenya’s Kajiado District in Kenya.

By cutting the crossing time to a greatest of half an hour, the One-Stop Border Post extend has boosted exchange and tourism between Kenya and Tanzania.
To set up the border post, the African Development Bank in 2007 endorsed $185 million in funding, of which $108 million went to Kenya and $77 million to Tanzania.
The Bank co-financed the project with the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
“Much appreciated to the modern crossing point, street activity has expanded,” said Edward Wilson Lyimo, the proprietor for more than 20 a long time of lodging on the Tanzanian side of Namanga. “Businesses have gotten to be productive and this modern crossing has truly made a difference us. Presently, we are able to trade in both nations.”
The development has boosted the territorial economy by streamlining, together with progressed streets, the movement of people and products over the border.
“The idea now is to reproduce this activity on other borders, such as that with Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia,” said Kenneth Bagamuhunda, Director-General, Customs, and Exchange of the East African Community (EAC).

The One-Stop Border Post project is additionally progressing territorial participation, encouraging cross-border exchange, and the marking of settlements between EAC part nations. It underpins the progressing work of the Assistance of Cross-Border Developments Committee, set up in 1998 by the EAC Commission to address international ids, travel reports for businesspeople, visas, and other things recognized within the Tripartite Agreement on Road Transport.
