Exchange of goods and services has been a common goal worldwide, as the world becomes
a global village separated by common borders. Due to changing global environment
various organizations have engaged into international and cross border trades. The East
African community is one of the organizations which were created for the purpose of cross
border trades with its members. This led to creation of ones stop borders points like Busia,
Namanga, Isebania, Malaba and many others. The study sought to determine the effect of
One Stop Border Posts on Trade Facilitation at the Lunga Lunga- Horo Horo border
crossing. The research study was based three specific objectives which were; to assess the
effect of system integration, to evaluate the effect of shared infrastructure on trade
facilitation at One Stop Border Post in the Lunga Lunga- Horo Horo and then to establish
the effect of inter-agency cooperation. The research study was underpinned by the
following theories; theory of change, diffusion of innovation and planned behavior theory.
The research study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive survey design. The population
consisted of government officials, traders and transporters based at the border. The sample
size was 400 respondents determined using the Slovin’s formula. The data collection
instrument adopted for this study was the questionnaire. The questionnaires were self administered
