Description

The Isebania One Stop Border Post is located on the Kenya-Tanzania border in Migori County, at the southern terminus of the A1 highway. It is one of seven established OSBPs in Kenya alongside Taveta, Lungalunga, Namanga, Busia, Malaba, and Moyale. The facility was developed with support from TradeMark East Africa and brings together immigration, customs, and other government agencies from both Kenya and Tanzania under one roof. Isebania serves as a critical entry point for trade between the two countries, particularly for agricultural produce, tobacco, and general merchandise. The border post connects to the Migori-Isebania highway and forms part of the broader A1 corridor from Tanzania to South Sudan.

Overview

Key trade gateway between Kenya and Tanzania on the western border corridor. Facilitates movement of goods and people, supporting livelihoods of border communities and contributing to East African regional integration.
