Happy to present Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline workers at Tog-Wajaale border. This complements Gov #Somaliland efforts to keep trade flowing and Covid-19 at bay #StopCovidSomaliland #SafeTradeSomaliland

@TradeMarkEastA @slmofd @UKaid @SomalilandMoHD @FrankMatsaert Use of appropriate PPE remains an essential Covid19 prevention mechanism for front line workers, including those carrying out testing and inspection activities. However, access to PPE is a major challenge for majority of citizens in developing countries.

COVID-19 presents both opportunities and challenges to Eastern Africa Trade. Enterprises should find new and better ways of coping.
