Safe Trade Cluster 2 technology works will focus on three key broad intervention areas: 1. Regional Electronic Cargo and Driver Tracking System (RECDTS) A digital-based solution that provides a trusted framework for sharing the mutually recognised EAC COVID-19 Test Certificates among Ministries of Health in the EAC, to facilitate movement of truck drivers across the region through elimination of multiple testing at entry points in the times of COVID-19. Support areas include; a. System development – including development of drivers, health, and enforcement officers mobile applications; geo-fencing of designated stop/rest areas along the major trade corridors in the EAC b. System integrations/interfaces to National Laboratory Systems. c. System Infrastructure and operational support framework for the anchor platform (RECTS) - hosting support. d. Change management activities – sensitization/training of users (truck drivers, truck companies, health, and enforcement officers) 2. Paperless border transactions Enhancement of the SCT centralised platform to include automation of transit documents. This will limit the use of paper - a potential conduit of virus transmission, as well as limit human interaction in the times of COVID-19. 3. Automatic identification and verification technologies (subject to availability of funds) These will automate and further enhance clearance and release processes at border crossings, utilising technology to limit human interaction. These technologies will include; a. Smart gates. b. Optical Character Recognition (OCR). c. Facial recognition. d. Automatic number plate reader.
