EAC Developing Strategic Partnerships
EAC Developing Strategic Partnerships.
It is recognised that regional integration and development in East Africa will require the mobilisation of vast resources, both within and outside the region. Despite its enormous potential, the region alone cannot raise effective levels of resources to meet the very huge and highly capital-intensive investments required. This is why there is need to co-operate with all like-minded organisations and countries.
Over the years, EAC has laid a strong foundation for strategic partnership with the rest of the world and benefited from technical and financial assistance from a large number of international aid and development agencies, including World Bank, European Union, European Investment Bank, African Development Bank, Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (SIDA), United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, German Agency for Technical Co-operation (GTZ), East African Development Bank, United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), Norwegian Agency for Development (NORAD), Commonwealth Secretariat and Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA).
Other development partners with whom EAC expects to enter into co-operation programmes or have entered into Memoranda of Understanding with include France, India, Finland, International Labour Organisation, UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, Austrian Development Co-operation and the World Meteorological Organization.

Consultative Meetings
Three major EAC – Development Partners Consultative meetings have so far been held to explore new areas of co-operation and to deepen those in which co-operation is ongoing. The first major meeting with the Development Partners was held in May 1998 on the East African Road Network Project. The meeting resulted in an agreement on five key Trunk Roads (Corridors) linking the three States, for priority development. The donors indicated an initial sum of US$1 billion.
The second EAC – Development Partners meeting was held in September 2001, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The aim of this meeting was to brief the Development Partners on the progress made in the regional integration process, particularly in the co-operating sectors. The meeting was a success and the development partners indicated their continued support to the Community at a regional level and to the constituent Partner States at the national level.
The third meeting, the East African Roads’ Development Partners Consultative Meeting was held in Arusha in April 2003. The Meeting realised renewed pledges of support to the East African Road Network Project with the World Bank confirming availability of US$ 400-500 million for the next three years and European Union Euros 375 million over the 5-year period.

HISTORY
From Co-operation to Community
In the past, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have enjoyed a long history of co-operation under successive regional integration arrangements.
These have included the Customs Union between Kenya and Uganda in 1917, which the then Tanganyika later joined in 1927; the East African High Commission (1948-1961); the East African Common Services Organisation (1961-1967); the East African Community (1967-1977) and the East African Co-operation (1993-2000).
Following the dissolution of the former East African Community in 1977, the Member States negotiated a Mediation Agreement for the Division of Assets and Liabilities, which they signed in 1984.
However, as one of the provisions of the Mediation Agreement, the three States agreed to explore areas of future co-operation and to make concrete arrangements for such co-operation.
Subsequent meetings of the three Heads of State led to the signing of the Agreement for the Establishment of the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation on November 30, 1993.
Full East African Co-operation operations started on March 14, 1996 when the Secretariat of the Permanent Tripartite Commission was launched at the Headquarters of the EAC in Arusha, Tanzania.
Considering the need to consolidate regional co-operation, the East African Heads of State, at their second Summit in Arusha on 29 April 1997, directed the Permanent Tripartite Commission to start the process of upgrading the Agreement establishing the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation into a Treaty.
The Treaty-making process, which involved negotiations among the Member States as well as wide participation of the public, was successfully concluded within three years.
The Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community was signed in Arusha on 30 November 1999.
The Treaty entered into force on 7 July 2000 following the conclusion of the process of its ratification and deposit of the Instruments of Ratification with the Secretary General by all the three Partner States.
Upon the entry into force of the Treaty, the East African Community came into being.

The East African Community (EAC) is the regional intergovernmental organisation of the Republics of Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania with its headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania.
The three East African countries cover an area of 1.8 million square kilometres and have a population of 82 million who share a common history, language, culture and infrastructure. These advantages provide the Partner States with a unique framework for regional co-operation and integration.

From Co-operation to Community
Prior to re-launching the East African Community in 1999, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda had enjoyed a long history of co-operation under successive regional integration arrangements. These included the Customs Union between Kenya and Uganda in 1917, which the then Tanganyika later joined in 1927; the East African High Commission (1948-1961); the East African Common Services Organisation (1961-1967); the East African Community (1967-1977), and the East African Co-operation (1993-1999).

Institutions of the EAC
The main organs of the EAC are the Summit of Heads of State and or Government; Council of Ministers; Co-ordination Committee; Sectoral Committees; East African Court of Justice, East African Legislative Assembly; and the Secretariat.
The Region's External Trade
The region's principal exports are mainly agricultural products. These include horticulture, tea, coffee, cotton, tobacco, pyrethrum, fish, and hides and skins. Other exports include handicrafts and minerals such as gold, diamonds, gemstones, soda ash and limestone. Tourism is also one of the major sources of foreign exchange for the three countries.
The region's major imports are machinery and other capital equipment, industrial supplies and raw materials, motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts, fertiliser, crude and refined petroleum products.
The major trading partners of the region are the European Union, Japan, China, India, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.

Development Strategy for EAC
The East African Community operates on the basis of a five-year Development Strategy. The Strategy document spells out the policy guidelines, priority programmes and implementation schedules.
The EAC strategy emphasises economic co-operation and development with a strong focus on the social dimension. The role of the private sector and civil society is considered as central and crucial to the regional integration and development in a veritable partnership with the public sector.

Areas of Co-operation
The regional co-operation and integration envisaged in the EAC is broad based, covering trade, investments and industrial development; monetary and fiscal affairs; infrastructure and services; human resources, science and technology; agriculture and food security; environment and natural resources management; tourism and wildlife management; and health, social and cultural activities.
Other areas of co-operation include free movement of factors of production; and co-operation in political matters, including defence, security, foreign affairs, legal and judicial affairs.

Partnerships
The EAC collaborates with other African organisations in the spirit of the Abuja Treaty for the establishment of the African Economic Community. Among these organisations are the African Union, Common Market for East and Southern Africa, Inter-governmental Authority on Development and the Southern African Development Community.

Funding
The core budget of the EAC's Secretariat is funded by equal contributions from the Partner States. Regional projects and programmes are funded through the mobilisation of resources from both within and outside the region. [ Retrieved on 21-11-06
