Abstract: Abstract Different studies demonstrate how market inland country delays often hinder trade more than the effect of foreign tariffs (Hummels 2001; Portugal-Perez and Wilson 2009; Djankow et al. 2010; Freund and Rocha 2010). This is especially evident when we consider Africa’s exports, and in particular, highly time-sensitive goods such as agriculture products. Within this context the study and implementation of trade facilitation solutions for Uganda, and in general East Africa, plays an important role. Uganda belongs to one of the largest clusters of 10 landlocked countries spanning Central and East Africa. From this perspective, the objective to increase and facilitate trade in landlocked African countries may also, like a ‘domino effect’, improve trade across the African continent.
