Kenya is expected to establish a dedicated national e-commerce regulation unit as part of sweeping new regional rules, aimed at harmonising digital trade across eastern and southern Africa and improving consumer welfare in fast-growing digital markets.

The Model E-Commerce Policy for the eastern and southern Africa and Indian Ocean regions recommends that every member state creates a National E-Commerce Unit to coordinate regulation, oversee digital marketplaces and streamline policy implementation.
