Activity
UFFA is part of a team that develops a curriculum for the Training Course on Customs Practice and the Management of Eastern African Expeditions that has now been implemented in conjunction with the Uganda Revenue Authority. The Association initiated the East Africa Harmonization Curriculum Training Program which has been the work of the East African Revenue Authority (EARAs) and the Federation of East African Freight Forwarders (FEAFFA) Employers Association. The results of this project will be a compulsory practice certificate known as East Africa Customs and Freight Forwarding Practicing Certificate (EACFFPC) for all customs agents in the region.
