About education providers in East Africa

East Africa has one of the youngest populations on the planet and a school-going cohort that has roughly tripled in a generation. That demographic reality has built an education sector that runs from village primary schools and secondary academies through TVET colleges and universities to a thriving private tutoring market and a rapidly maturing edtech industry building platforms in Nairobi, Kampala, and Kigali.

The education businesses listed on EABD include schools at every level, training institutions, language and exam-prep tutors, edtech platforms, learning-management vendors, and ancillary services from uniforms to school transport. Parents, students, and corporate L&D teams can compare verified providers by location, programme, and rating, and reach out directly to the school or tutor without going through a marketing agency.

About Somalia

Somalia's private sector has grown largely on its own terms. Livestock exports through Berbera, Bosaso and Kismayo, a remittance and money-transfer industry that connects the diaspora to every town, some of the continent's most widely used mobile-money services, and a construction and import trade centred on Mogadishu keep the economy moving. Somalia joined the East African Community in 2024, opening its traders to a market of more than 300 million people.

EABD lists Somali businesses in Mogadishu and across all 18 regions, from Hargeisa and Borama in the north-west to Garowe, Galkayo, Baidoa and Kismayo. Browse by region, by town, or by industry. Where a business is verified, EABD has confirmed its registration with the relevant ministry or chamber of commerce and its contact details, so buyers, NGOs and diaspora investors can reach a real counterpart directly.
