East Africa: Mansa Digital Platform to Boost SMEs in EAC

October 20th, 2021 – Mansa digital platform will enable companies and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to trade confidently across Africa.

This will cut down the transaction cost of trading under the African Continental Free Trading Area (AfCFTA) with a huge market of 1.2billion consumers.

This was revealed in Kampala, Uganda early by John Bosco Kalisa, the executive director of the East African Business Council (EABC) where the facility is set for launch today.

The platform is Africa’s centralised customer due diligence digital repository. It derives its name from Mansa Mussa, a former emperor of the Mali Empire in the 14th century.
