The East African Community Development Strategy for the period 2011/12-2015/16 outlines broad strategic goals of the East African Community as well as the specific targets to be achieved during the period.
This Strategy, the fourth one since the establishment of the East African Community, comes in the wake of successful conclusion of the 3rd Development Strategy and the onset of the EAC Common Market. Lessons and experiences emanating from the implementation of the previous Development Strategy have provided important inputs in the formulation of the fourth Development Strategy.
The broad outline of this Strategy encompasses priority projects and programmes to be implemented by 2015/16. These centre on the consolidation of the Customs Union, Common Market, the establishment of a Monetary Union and laying the foundations for the political federation plus the promotion of solid and economic infrastructure (including energy) that would support and spur economic growth in the Partner States.
We, the Heads of State of the Republic of Burundi, the Republic of Kenya, the Republic of Rwanda, the Republic of Uganda and The United Republic of Tanzania, appreciate and applaud the good work that has been undertaken by the Organs and Institutions of the Community in producing this Development Strategy. We believe that effective implementation of the Strategy will steer the region to greater heights of regional and international competitiveness, bring about faster and robust socio-economic development and boost the welfare and prosperity of the people of East Africa. Our respective Governments are fully committed to the implementation of this Development Strategy.
Done at Arusha, Tanzania, on the 30th day of November, in the year Two Thousand and Eleven.

The The East African Community (EAC) is a regional inter governmental organization established under Article 2 of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community that entered into force in July 2000. The membership of the Community comprises the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. As stated under Article 5 (2) of the Treaty, “the Partner States undertake to establish among themselves and in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty, a Customs Union, a Common Market, subsequently a Monetary Union and ultimately a Political Federation in order to strengthen and regulate the industrial, commercial, infrastructural, cultural, social, political and other relations of the Partner States to the end that there shall be accelerated, harmonious and balanced development and sustained expansion of economic activities, the benefit of which shall be equitably shared.”
The Community has made significant progress during the last 10 years of integration. In particular, there is a much desired shift from the initial negative mind-set and little excitement on the integration process to strong political will that has catalysed business confidence and improved people’s awareness about the benefits and costs of integration. The Customs Union in particular catalyzed remarkable trade expansion. Intra-EAC trade grew by 40% between 2005 and 2009. Uganda’s exports to Kenya increased more than tenfold from USD15.5 Million in 2004 to USD172 Million in 2009, while Tanzania’s exports to Kenya over the same period nearly tripled , from USD 95.5 Million to USD 300 Million. This pattern is expected to be enhanced with the Common Market which came into force in July 2010. This increased trade and investment among the EAC Partner States has broadened prospects for economic growth and development.
The growth in trade was complemented by the significant growth in cross-border investment in the services sectors cutting across banking, insurance and tertiary education. Cross-border investment as well as mergers and acquisitions have become major drivers and contributors to growth of investments in the region. For instance, East African Breweries has acquired 51% shares in Tanzania’s Serengeti Breweries; Trans Century of Kenya has substantial investment in Tanzania Cables and Tanzania’s TANELEC, while BIDCO has significant investment in the edible oil sector in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. On the other hand, Tanzanian food processing companies such as AZAM have made some inroads into Uganda and Rwandan markets. There is still a challenge of motivating more cross-border investments into Kenya, whose private sector is the more aggressive in penetrating the regional market and beyond EAC.
The regional economy has grown significantly despite the global financial and economic crisis experienced between mid-2007 and early 2009. Total GDP of the five EAC Partner States grew from USD 30 Billion in 2002 to USD 75 Billion in 2009 (refer Table 2.1) and is expected to reach USD 80 billion by 2012. Moreover, all the Partner States’ economies have managed to tame inflation to within single digit levels, except during the peak of the global financial crisis and the recent drought and fuel induced price increases.
While all EAC Partner States have liberalized their economies, the pursuit of macroeconomic convergence remains a key focus of all the economies. The benchmark indicators of sustained GDP growth rates of 7%, inflation rates of 5%, single digit interest rates and gross national savings above 20% are yet to be achieved. Nevertheless, the performances of these indicators have generally remained stable.
Though fragile, the institutional framework and systems for delivery of Community agenda has been entrenched at national and regional levels. The establishment of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) and the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) are models in Africa in terms of regional legislative oversight and jurisprudence. The operationalisation of the institutions to manage the implementation of the Customs Union and Common market has created the impetus for a robust Community. The institutional framework has further benefitted from establishment of national ministries coordinating the EAC Affairs. Further the Community was enlarged through the accession of Rwanda and Burundi.
The democratisation processes has taken root in all the EAC Partner States. Multi-party elections are held regularly through transparent and open processes, which are also freely contested in case of discontent. The EAC has established a process of electoral observance in all the Partner States and has received accolades for its objective and value-added reports on these elections. The greatest hindrance to democratic consolidation in EAC are the perennial conflicts within the horn of Africa and the great lakes region, terrorism and piracy that have led to proliferation of small arms and influx of refugees into the

region. However, a number of regional initiatives, with positive outcomes, have been embraced to address the above challenges. At the international level, EAC has gained recognition as a fully fledged regional economic community. The Community has made satisfactory strides in forging strong cooperation in political matters particularly in areas of defence, peace and security which are key prerequisites for the regional integration process.
The prevalence of NTBs, inadequate infrastructure; institutional handicaps; inadequate national level capacities to domesticate regional policies; divergent socio-economic structures; supply side constraints; weak legal, regulatory and dispute settlement mechanisms and requisite powers for EAC to enforce Community obligations and decisions; delays in operationalization of EAC competition Act; mismatch during the implementation of trade facilitation instruments and processes are some of the major constraints that slowed the achievement of the full benefits of the Customs Union.
The private sector potentials in spurring economic development require further harmonisation of macro-economic and sectoral policies both at national and regional levels. In addition increased institutional coordination and governance; a more robust financial sector that effectively integrates the SMEs; and business friendly administrative structures and tax regimes will go a long way in facilitating private sector success. Similarly continued concerted efforts to build private sector capacities to cope with the ongoing globalisation business environment in which production is fragmented through outsourcing and off-shoring. This therefore calls for alternative business strategies for survival at regional, national and firm perceptive levels. The ongoing cooperation with the regional private sector bodies, mainly the East African Business Council (EABC), the Jua Kali/Nguvu Kazi/Katwe associations and through trade and investment promotion conferences builds the foundation upon which private sector networks can be expanded.
On the sub regional cooperation, the EAC has maintained strong bonds of collaboration with the COMESA, SADC under the Tripartite arrangements and IGAD sub-regions in an endeavour to establish a wider regional market to support rapid industrialisation, trade expansion and fast tracked development of linking infrastructure between the member countries. In June 2011, the Joint Summit of the Tripartite held its 2nd Joint Summit which launched the negotiations for the Grand Free Trade Area, underscored the need for faster development of infrastructure and the urgent need for an industrialisation strategy for the Tripartite.
The implementation of the 4th strategy will be built on the achievements of the first decade while prioritizing consolidation of the benefits of a fully fledged Customs Union-, including enhancing market access and trade competitiveness; implementation of the Common Market; concluding and establishing the Monetary Union while laying the Foundation for a Political Federation. In order to support the regional integration process the strategy has prioritised expansion of productive capacities to facilitate product/service diversification and infrastructure network development for enhanced connectivity within the region and the global community. At institutional level, the mandates of the various Organs and Institutions and related facilitating institutions shall be reviewed and developed to take account of the expanded and deepened regional agenda.
The key drivers for the realization of the EAC regional integration agenda in the next five years include: creation of a strong legal framework; strategic selection and harmonization of prioritized programmes at national and regional levels; application of common policies and gradual elimination of all barriers to trade; devolution of power and authority to EAC Organs and Institutions commensurate with the level of regional integration agenda; and establishment of regional institutional frameworks among others. In recognition of the global changes, research and technological development and investing in knowledge will need to take centre stage. Other key strategic drivers that will underpin the regional integration agenda are increased private sector, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and citizenry involvement; good governance, transparency and accountability; and political stability, peace and security and the continued cooperation at the Tripartite and multi-lateral levels.

The strategy is estimated to cost USD 1,288,538,790 in the next five years. It is anticipated that, the on-going consultations on alternative financing mechanisms for the East African Community will be concluded soon, and a more sustainable mechanism identified to ensure timeliness and sustainability in programme/project implementation. Furthermore innovative ways of tapping non-conventional sources of resources to include Public Private Partnerships (PPP), Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and portfolio investment including leveraging available resources to mobilize additional funds to support regional development should be explored.

1.1 Background
The East African Community (EAC) is a regional inter-governmental organization established under Article 2 of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community that entered into force in July 2000. Membership of the Community comprises the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 5, the Partner States undertake to establish among themselves, a Customs Union, a Common Market, subsequently a Monetary Union and ultimately a Political Federation in order to strengthen and regulate the industrial, commercial, infrastructural, cultural, social and political relations. This is meant to enhance accelerated harmonious, balanced development and sustained expansion of economic activities.
The Community operationalises the Treaty through medium-term development strategies. The 1st Development Strategy covered the period 1997 -2000 and focused on the re-launching of EAC, a period usually referred to as the confidence building phase. The 2nd Development Strategy covered the period 2001 -2005 and mainly focused on the establishment of the EAC Customs Union and laying the groundwork for the Common Market. The 3rd Development Strategy (2006 – 2010) prioritized the establishment of the EAC Common Market and while the 4th Development Strategy covering the period July 2011 to June 2016 mainly focuses on the implementation of the EAC Common Market and the establishment of the EAC Monetary Union. In all these Strategies, cross-cutting projects and programmes in sectors such as legal and judicial, infrastructure, energy, social development, and institutional development were also carried out. The 4th Development Strategy (2011-2016) takes into account consolidating the benefits of a fully-fledged Customs Union, full implementation of the Common Market and laying the foundation for the attainment of Monetary Union and Political Federation and continuing implementation of other priority projects and pr0grammes.
1.2 The EAC Institutional Framework

1.6 Broad Priority Areas in the Next Decade
Over the next decade (2011–2020) the E A C will focus on improving her global competitiveness for faster and sustainable economic growth and move closer to the status of a newly industrialized regionSpecific areas of focus will include establishment of a robust legal and administrative framework that facilitates the regional economy to generate income and wealth; improvement and expansion of infrastructure, energy access, improvement and sustained long-term stability in the macro-economic environment; improvement of health, primary education and training; investment in higher education and training; development of financial markets; technology development; innovation; increased efficiency in production and distribution; and increased trade with other RECs and globally through strong and continuous support to the on-going process of creating a COMESA-EAC-SADC Grand Free Trade Area and identification of new international markets.
The EAC will also develop policy measures focused on augmenting human capital by expanding and improving the quality of education, health and an economic environment that supports higher job creation to absorb new entrants into the labour market.
Agriculture and food security will receive more serious attention by the EAC in the next Decade to tap the great potential that the Sector offers. This will be achieved through implementation of the EAC Agriculture and Food Secuirity Action Plan so as to ensure structural change as well as technological upgrading of agriculture, especially in the face of adverse climate change.
In the context of the foregoing dynamic transformations, the budget as well as the decision-making systems of the EAC will undergo further reform for a more sustainable budget financing and efficient policy making mechanisms.
Finally, as the EAC enters the second decade, and in view of the foregoing, the EAC Treaty will be reviewed to reflect the new realities and align it to the Community’s future dynamics and developments.
1.7 Structure of the Development Strategy
The Strategy is organized into six (6) Chapters: Chapter 1 introduces the EAC, and the manner in which the Community operationalises her 5-year Development Strategies. Chapter 2 presents the socio-economic analysis of the EAC Region both from internal and international perspectives, Chapter 3 highlights the Community’s achievements during the period 2006-2010, and the challenges experienced, Chapter 4 outlines the priority interventions that will drive the process towards achieving EAC’s broad objectives in the next five years. Chapter 5 defines the framework for implementation coordination, monitoring and evaluation, and Chapter 6 builds a case for an alternative and sustainable financing mechanism for the EAC in future.
The Implementation Matrix indicating the development objectives and strategic interventions including responsible actors, time frame, targets, performance indicators and budget estimates required in the next 5 years is attached as Annex 1.

This Strategy is informed by global, pan-African, regional and national commitments and in particular global issues of climate change and its effects on the environment, food security; residual effects of global financial crisis and persisting insecurity occasioned by terrorism, piracy, and democratisation processes. Further, the strategy leverages on existing political and macro-economic stability, national and regional competences and resources to strengthen the policy and regulatory frameworks.
2. 1 Political Development
Democracy is critical in the achievement of sustainable economic growth and development. The EAC Partner States are working towards greater democratic environment. The countries have held multi-party elections through transparent and open processes. The greatest hindrance to democratic consolidation in EAC is the perennial conflicts within the horn of Africa and the great lakes region, terrorism and piracy threats including the proliferation of small arms and influx of refugees into the region.
The EAC is participating in initiatives to improve peace and stability in the region with a view to increasing economic development prospects. These include peace and security missions in Somalia and Democratic Republic of Congo; the Sudanese Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the Great Lakes region, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) initiatives through which security and stability of the greater Eastern Africa region will be pursued. Within the EAC, Partner States are envisioning the formation of the East African Political Federation to advance socio-economic and political development among the five Partner States in line with AU aspirations.
2.2 Macroeconomic Performance in EAC
The ultimate goal of regional integration in East Africa is the attainment of long term high economic growth that can achieve and sustain human development. Towards this end, EAC Partner States committed themselves to maintaining an economic convergence criteria stated in the benchmarks of Table 2.1. For EAC Partner States to achieve middle income status , the 3rd Development Strategy (2006-2010) envisaged that the EAC Partner States had to achieve sustained economic growth rates in excess of 7 per cent. Other benchmarks include budget deficits of less than 5%, 4-months import cover, maximum budget deficits of 5%, sustainable public debt and single digit inflation rates. In spite of the positive developments, the challenge of macro-economic convergence in the major macroeconomic indicators for all Partner States persisted in the 3rd EAC Development Strategy (2006-2010) as presented in Table 2.1 in which nearly all indicators under performed with regard to EAC convergence criteria.

2.1.1 GDP Growth RateThe socio-economic performance among the East African Partner States has shown remarkable improvement (Table 2.1) as the region seeks to integrate further. The new membership of Burundi and Rwanda in the EAC trade integration process has come to further widen the market up to 135.5 million people in 2010. The expanded trade and investment among the EAC Partner States has increased economic growth and development prospects in the region, with regional GDP (at constant 2000 levels) increasing from US$42.4 billion in 2006 to 74.5 billion in 2009 and is expected to reach $ 80 billion in 2012. Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania sustained incremental growth trends between 2006 and 2008. The decline in 2009 was in part caused by the effects of the global financial crisis, high fuel prices, draught among others. The Kenyan economy in addition suffered from the effects of the 2007 post election crisis. Burundi despite her political challenges continues to experience positive growth rates. The projections for 2010 generally indicate the economies are on re-bound. Kenya’s economy remains relatively large at about 35.7% compared to that of the other EAC partner states. The prospects are high for all partner states to achieve an economic growth rates averaging over 7 per cent that can ensure realization of economic and human development in the long term. The per capita incomes, though generally low, depict steady increase over time (Table 2.1) but way below the benchmark of US$ 3,000 of a middle income status. The per capita levels of the EAC partner states are consistent with low income countries.

2.2.2 Inflation – Annual Average Except for the sporadic periods of price increases due to global financial crisis, fuel prices, food shortages and the frequent drought occurrences in the region, the prices have remained generally high but stable. The high inflation hurts the overall macroeconomic environment that is one of the prerequisites for economic growth and development. In 2008, inflation rates surged to double digit levels in all the partner states, coinciding with the global financial crisis. Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi inflation rates were at 12.0 per cent, 16.2 per cent, 10.3 per cent, 15.4 per cent and 24.5 per cent respectively in 2008. Recovery trends started in 2009 will prevail into 2010, where single digit inflations rates, though above the benchmark of 5%, are projected. While inflation rates comparisons have been undertaken from 2006, it was only in 2010 that all Partner States inflation rate calculations were harmonised.
2.2.3 Interest Rate Interest rates in the region have remained almost constant and above the inflation rates for the period 2006 to 2010; confirming that securing credit for investment is prohibitive in the region. Further, none of the Partner States had achieved a single digit interest rate as envisaged by the 3rd Development Strategy (2006-2010). Slight declines are projected for 2010 for all the Partner States. It is hoped that with consistent development of the financial sector, the interest rates can further be lowered to levels that can, in part, increase investments through access to affordable credit.
2.2.4 Current Account Deficit (less Transfers) /GDPThe current account deficit for the partner states of the region have been widening especially between 2006 and 2008 except for Burundi, an indication that reflects a surge in imports in excess of exports. The composition of the imports was predominantly inputs and capital goods which is consistent with the case for low income countries. The recovery experienced in 2009 is projected to decline in 2010 for most of the Partner States. A widening deficit can be addressed by enacting policies to increase exports at the same rate as imports.
2.2.5 Gross National Savings/GDPIncreased domestic savings can accelerate the pace of economic growth and development. Except for Tanzania in 2009 and 2010, the EAC partner states saving rates on average are below 20 per cent of GDP, the benchmark to sustain accelerated pace of economic growth. Most Partner States saving rates are on the decline except for Burundi which experienced an increased in 2010. . The EAC Partner States need to create a savings culture among her people to mobilize funds for investment.
2.2.6 Import CoverAll the Partner States except for Burundi have by and large met the four months import cover requirements in 2009 and 2010. This implies the Partner States have adequate reserves to sustain international transactions.
2.3 General Trends in Economic Growth
2.3.1 EAC Budgetary Deficits The EAC Partner States have been experiencing budget deficits due to high development financial needs. As indicated in Table 2.2 below the budget deficits in all the Partner States were mixed. Rwanda budget deficits have generally remained at a two digit level while the budget deficit in Burundi declined to a single digit starting in 2009. The remaining partner states sustained single digit budget deficits during the plan period though above the benchmark of 6%. Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania budget deficits have maintained downward trends up to 2009 but declined in 2010.

With the deepening of trade integration within EAC and between other regional economic communities, the budget account deficit can be lowered below 6 per cent. This can spur high economic growth performance. The regional integration agenda and ongoing reforms can improve efficiency and therefore increase revenues for most Partner States development needs.
2.3.2 Debt Levels in EAC (% share of GDP)Foreign aid is critical and can support economic growth if channelled to building a country’s capacity to enhance domestic production. Uganda and Rwanda sustained the lowest levels of debt in the region (Table 2.3). In Uganda debt declined from 14.7 to 11 per cent between 2006 and 2008 but edged upwards in 2009 and 2010; while in Tanzania it declined from 69.6 percent in 2006 to 21.3 percent in 2008 but edged upwards in 2009 and is projected at 20.6% in 2010. Kenya’s debt declined from 43.2 in 2006 to 35.6 per cent in 2008 and is projected to increase to 53.3 per cent in 2010. Burundi which sustained the highest debt during the period 2006-2008 dramatically reduced its debt dependence in 2009 to 45.5 per cent and remains at the same level in 2010. The reduction on reliance on debt is remarkable and is indicative of the improvement in revenue generation among the EAC member states.

2.3.3 Unemployment and Population Below Poverty LineUnemployment and poverty data in the region remains scanty. This shows the need for data development especially on social indicators. On the basis of available data, poverty levels are very high, with close to half the population in the region living below the poverty line. Unemployment among the youth in particular remains very high. In this regard therefore, the regional programmes should to the extent

2.4 Trade Development
2.4.1 External Trade in Goods Share of GDP One of the main and fundamental objectives of the EAC is to enhance trade and therefore economic growth and development among Partner States. As indicated in Table 2.4 below, the trade shares of GDP for all the Partner States is significant and increasing. The overall declines in 2009 can in part be explained by the impact of the global financial crisis.
The trend in exports and imports as a share of GDP shows that the region imports more than it exports to the rest of the world. The export share of Uganda averaged 15-23 percent between 2006 and 2009 compared to 25-32 per cent import share. Kenya’s export share averaged 26 percent in comparison to import share average of 35 percent during 2006-2009. The corresponding ratios for Rwanda and Tanzania are 9-15, 27-31 and 11-18, 21-34 per cent respectively.

The surge in imports, in part, is attributed to importation of raw materials and capital equipment for domestic production. According to the World Bank data (2010), importation of agricultural raw materials as a percentage of total imports remained constant at 1.4 per cent while that of ICT goods increased from 6.2 per cent in 2006 to 7 per cent of total imports in 2009. The amount of valued added imports increased from 16 per cent in 2006 to 23.4 per cent of total imports in 2008.

2.4.2 Intra-EAC Trade PerformanceTable 2.5 on intra-EAC trade, value of total trade, exports, imports, and trade balance between Partner States within the EAC region; and with the rest of the world for the period 2005 to 2009, indicates that intra-EAC regional trade performance is growing unlike the declining extra-regional EAC trade. Except for Burundi and Rwanda, all the other Partner States are showing improvement in their trade balances. The intra- EAC trade has been improving, but most of the partner states still have more potential for growth provided there is an expansion of the manufactured sector through adoption of value added policies are taken seriously.

Burundi: Although Burundi experiences the lowest trade volumes in EAC, her trade performance improved from US $63.1 million in 2006 to US $90.7 million in 2008. The highest increase in Burundi’s trade with EAC was recorded in 2007 by US $84.8 million. Exports increased by US $4.0 million in 2006 and US $6.0 million in 2008. In addition, imports also increasing in Burundi by US $ 1.5 million in 2006 and by US $5.2 in 2008. Throughout the review period, Burundi has been experiencing trade deficits.
Kenya: In 2006, Kenya’s trade declined by about US $109.2 million. Exports declined by US $238.5 million in 2006. Kenya’s trade with EAC partner states has been significant recording a surplus throughout 2006 to 2008. The surplus however recorded a decline of US $261.1 million but later expanded by respectively US $107.9 and US $270.5 in 2007 and 2008. Substantial declines were recorded in 2009 and 2010 indicating substantial imports.

Tanzania: Tanzania’s trade with the EAC has been recording remarkable improvement with surpluses since 2008. Both imports and exports have recorded mixed performance.
Uganda: Uganda’s trade improved from a decline of about US$113 million in 2006 to a positive increase of US$222.7 in 2007 and 142.1 in 2008. Performance slowed down in 2009 and 2010..
Rwanda: Rwanda for the period in which data is available recorded a significant improvement in trade with EAC partner states between 2007 and 2008.
2.4.3 Commodity Exports Annex 2 lists the composition of leading commodities in the intra-EAC trade for each Partner State. Burundi’s leading exports include gold, tea and mate, sugar, coffee and hides and skin. Kenya is a leading importer of Burundi’s commodities except sugar, molasses and honey which Rwanda is a leading importer. Further, Burundi’s coffee exports are destined to all the EAC partner states, but Tanzania and Uganda are leading recipients. Kenya’s trade with the rest of the EAC partner states is based on petroleum products, articles of apparel, construction materials (lime and cement), steel and soaps, cleansers and polishes.
The leading market destination in EAC is Uganda. However, all the EAC partner states are leading recipients of Kenya’s exports particularly on petroleum products. Rwanda’s trading commodities include tea, coffee, ores and concentrates, hides and skins and petroleum products. From table 2.10, it is evident that Rwanda’s exports destinations are Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Burundi’s leading imports from Rwanda is petroleum products.
Fish, tea, cotton, halogen salt, maize and textile products are Tanzania’s leading trade commodities in EAC. Most of Tanzania’s exports are destined to Kenya, then to the rest of the EAC member states. Kenya is a leading importer of Tanzania’s trade commodities except elements/oxides/halogen salt to which Burundi is a leading importer. Of all Tanzania’s trade commodities, Kenya imports mostly tea, fish and cotton which constitute over 90 per cent of total Tanzania’s exports each. Uganda’s leading trading commodities are destined to all the EAC partner states with vegetables, steel, maize and tobacco being imported by all the countries in EAC. Most of Uganda’s tea exports are destined to Kenya and while electric current is supplied to Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania. The composition of the traded products shows that EAC region needs to invest more in manufactured exports through in part, investment in science and technology. Value added and diversified products have the potential to generate huge amounts of income leading to improved welfare of the people of the region.
2.4.5 GDP Sectoral SharesTable 2.6 shows that the industrial share of GDP declined for the region. The industrial sector has been stagnant, an indication that there very little value addition in the manufacturing sectors in particular. The industrial share of GDP in Uganda increased from 22.6 per cent in 2006 to 24.9 per cent in 2010. Tanzania’s share increased from 20.8 in 2006 to 22.3 per cent in 2010. The industrial share of GDP in Kenya stagnated at 16-17 percent between 2006 and 2010. Similarly Rwanda’s industrial share of GDP remained constant at 14 -15 per cent between 2006 and 2010.
EAC potential to produce diversified and value added manufactured exports still remains untapped. The region can stimulate production of diversified and value added exports to enhance export-led or trade-led economic growth and development. The region exports mostly primary commodities and limited range of value added commodities (Annex 2). The EAC members states therefore need to expand their manufacturing sector to enhance value added exports. Burundi’s industrial share of 16-19 per cent is quite impressive.
The agricultural shares of GDP in all the Partner States have been declining during the period under review. There are marginal increases in the services sectors for all the Partner States.

2.5 Investment
2.5.1 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Performance FDI inflows are expected to contribute to the realization of the economic potential in the EAC region. From Table 2.7 Uganda and Tanzania remains the preferred destination of FDI. The FDI comes in through transfer of new technologies, managerial skills, stimulation in the establishment of micro, small and medium enterprises and employment opportunities. FDI can also expand the variety of goods and services available in the region expanding consumption range.

FDI attraction and retention is therefore one of priority areas identified for development by the EAC. The overall inflow of FDI to EAC increased from a total of US $1,323 million in 2006 to US $1,714 million in 2009. In terms of stocks, the region accumulated FDI from US $9,330 in 2006 to US $14,866 million in 2009 with each partner state recording increases, except for Kenya where both FDI and stocks have maintained.
In Uganda the investment inflows were concentrated in manufacturing (22%) construction (18%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation services (17%), electricity, gas and water (16%) and transport, communication and storage (9%). In Tanzania the investment inflows concentrated in tourism (31%), manufacturing (29%), transportation (15%), commercial building (14%) and agriculture (4%). The other sectors recorded 7%. Tanzania scored the first position worldwide in the investors after care service category awarded by WAIPA in 2007.
In Kenya, investment is concentrated around tourism, provision of services especially in the communications technology sector and manufacture of fast moving consumer goods and infrastructure. Kenya became the 8th most reformed nation in the world according to the DOING-BUSINESS indicators assessment done by the World Bank in 2009. By December 2007, the Rwanda Investment and Export Promotion Agency (RIEPA) had awarded 123 certificates of registration to projects worth US$496 million against a target of US$229 million set for the year.
2.5.2 Political Risk
The FDI inflows correlate inversely with the levels of political risks associated with any country. The political risk indicator is a composite of diverse issues covering governability, socioeconomic environment, ethnic tensions, constitutes components (Annex 3). The sum total of the component’s indexes rankings indicates whether a country is of high or low risk politically. On the basis of the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) indicators, the higher the score, the lower the risk. Country specific scores between 0 to 49.5 per cent are associated with very high risk; 50 to 59.5 per cent is high risk; 60 to 69.5 per cent is moderate risk and 80 to 100 per cent is very low risk. Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania constitute the 140 countries that are ranked under the ICGR system. Rwanda and Burundi are not considered in ICRG system. The three Partner State scores have registered gradual but steady increases during the period under review. The range of Political Risk Scores for the period 2006-2010 for Uganda are 55- 56; Tanzania 62- 64 and Kenya 56- 58. On the basis of these ratings, there is room for improving governance, rule of law and socio-economic issues in the region in order to improve investment conditions in the region. High political risk affects

economic performance of a country or region and in particular investment flows.
2.6 Human Development Performance
Table 2.8 compares the state of human development among the EAC partner states on the basis of achievements of HDI and MDG on life expectancy. Kenya’s, Tanzania’s and Uganda’s HD declined from Medium to low HD. Rwanda’s and Burundi’s HD although low throughout 2006 to 2010 have also been experiencing declining trends. The HD trend shows that the quality of life in EAC has been deteriorating over the focus period, though positive indications are beginning to appear stating 2009. The EAC average HD also shows the deterioration of the quality of life among the people of EAC region. On average, the EAC life expectancy is at 52.5 years. The life expectancy of partner states have maintained upward increases between 2006 and 2010. Overall, the life expectancy is still low in the EAC region compared to global averages of 63 years and over 75 years for the first world.

2.7 Infrastructure Development
2.7.1 Level and Access to Affordable InfrastructureThe EAC Partner States have identified the needed joint infrastructure investments aimed at overcoming the supply constraints which increases the transaction costs and thus induces profitability and productivity of investments. EAC has been coordinating and harmonizing transport and communication policies so as to improve the existing links and establish new ones. Results so far have not been very encouraging because of the inefficiency of the region’s largest port at Mombasa and the Kenya-Uganda railway line, Arusha – Namanga -Athi River, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam ports and other facilities that connect the countries. Table 2.9 summarizes the level of perception by the business community on the state of infrastructure.

The rating for the quality and cost of transport within the region ranged from 24% for Kenya to 46% for Tanzania with the average of 32%. On the whole transport was rated the lowest with an average of 32% followed by energy (35%), water (51%) and ICT (56%).
The World Bank Logistics Performance Index (2007) points to the relatively low quality of infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa (Table 2.10). The SSA average is far below the OECD targets.
Table 2.10: Logistics Performance Indicators for Africa
Region Quality of Infrastructure Logistics Competence
1. East Africa 2.05 2.24
2. Western Africa 2.08 2.33
3. Central Africa 2.13 2.31
4. Northern Africa 2.36 2.83
5. Southern Africa 2.47 2.69
6. SSA Average 2.11 2.32
7. OECD Average 3.62 3.65 Source: World Bank, 2007
The LPI represent simple averages scores ranging from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). The East African region has the lowest score on quality of infrastructure at 2.05 compared to Southern Africa with 2.47 and the OECD average of 3.62. The index also finds relatively low scores for the logistics competence for East Africa at 2.24 as compared to Northern Africa with 2.83 and OECD average of 3.65. On the overall score the East African region scores are both lower than the SSA average scores. The quality and logistics competence of infrastructure and ICT is likely to influence the patterns of trade and economic development. The EAC needs to prioritise infrastructure development as a precursor to development.
Table 2.11 shows the LPI and its components shows that Uganda has the highest LPI score in East Africa. Although EAC Partner States scores are lower, Uganda has better customs procedures, logistics competence and infrastructure abilities at respectively 2.84, 2.35 and 2.59. On the other hand, of the EAC countries whose data is available, Rwanda has the lowest scores in customs process, infrastructure quality and logistic competence as shown in Table 2.11.
The EAC, Sub-Saharan Africa and low income countries exhibit similar trends showing low levels of scores. This is because of the challenges such as cumbersome customs procedures, dilapidated infrastructure and poor logistics competence that slow the pace of economic development. The East African region has the lowest score on quality of infrastructure at 2.05 compared to Southern Africa with 2.47 and the High income countries’ average of 3.56. The index also finds relatively low scores for the logistics competence for East Africa at 2.28 as compared to Northern Africa with 2.83 and High income countries’ average of 3.50. The East African quality of customs processes score at 2.28 is higher compared to the Sub-Saharan region at 2.18 which reflects the achievements by the EAC common market. The quality of customs processes, infrastructure and logistics competence, in part, is likely to spur trade expansion, economic growth and development.

2.7.2 Energy Development Energy development is a critical element of economic development that the EAC has prioritized. Article 101 of the EAC treaty stipulates policies that the EAC PS will adopt to promote efficient exploitation and utilization of various energy sources in the region. The priority energy areas of focus include green energy, geothermal electricity and hydro-power generation. The EAC has committed is working towards provision of adequate and affordable energy to the East African people. Improved access of energy sources especially electricity will improve human development conditions in East Africa. This is because energy leads to provision of water, improvement of industrial and agricultural productivity, better health and education conditions and environmental sustainability. Majority of the East African people are based in the rural areas and lack adequate energy supply resulting in the use of fuel wood and charcoal. The urban areas are also affected since the urban poor lack adequate access to energy sources. Majority of EAC PS are energy deficient due to the untapped energy potential that exists in the region. Table 2.12 below shows selected energy indictors including the hydro-power generation capacities; electricity use per capita and electricity percentage share of GDP among the EAC Partner States. The generation capacities have not kept pace with energy needs of the region. Nevertheless, per capita energy usage is growing faster in Kenya compared to the rest of the Partner States.

2.7.3 Information, Communication and Technology (ICT)Information and communication technology (ICT) is increasingly becoming the EAC Common Market’s priority area in pursuit of economic growth and development among partner states. ICT is critical towards socio-economic and political developments in the region. In addition, ICT is considered as a channel through which the EAC common market will improve global access of her people and competitiveness of goods and services from the region. Articles 89, 99 and 103 of the EAC Treaty highlight the EAC quest to improve ICT to foster efforts towards economic development.
Table 2.13 shows internet use and mobile subscriptions has been growing in East Africa. Comparatively, Kenya has the largest use and subscriptions respectively followed by Uganda and Tanzania. Rwanda and Burundi recorded low but increasing internet use and mobile subscriptions. The overall EAC internet use increased respectively from about 2.1 to 6.75 million and 9.7 to 39.7 million both from 2005 to 2008. The EAC-World share of internet use and mobile subscription improved from 0.2 to 0.4 percent and 0.4 to 1 percent respectively over the same period. Except for Uganda and Rwanda that experienced growth in share of Africa internet use, Tanzania, Kenya and Burundi experienced declines in 2008.

2.8 Social Sector Development
Annex 4 summarizes the status of MDGs achievements against the target/indicator commitments by the year 2015. Substantial progress across the five Partner States have been made towards the achievement of MDG 2, 3 and 4, the EAC and the set targets indicators are likely to be met by 2015. The region as a whole is committed to meeting the MDG targets. The proxy for poverty reduction under MDG 1, youth employment (aged between 15 to 24 years), in the EAC region is high ranging between 59 per cent and 76 percent. EAC is working towards self reliance in food production and consumption and hence improving food security, and possibly achieving the envisaged indicator of halving poverty by 2015.
The goal on Universal Primary Education (MDG 2) has been surpassed by all the member states. The primary school enrolment has improved among EAC partner states from 2006 to 2010 ranging from 118 to 120.2 per cent in Uganda; 108 to 110.2 per cent in Tanzania. For Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi, primary school enrolment declined in 2010 to respectively 111.5 per cent, 150.9 per cent and 135.6 per cent. However, in the EAC region, Rwanda and Burundi have the highest enrolment levels.
Immunization against polio as a proxy for MDG 4 confirms that larger populations of children are immunized in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi ranging between 77 per cent and 90 per cent between 2006 and 2008. Uganda’s immunization levels remained at a constant level of 68 per cent over the same period. The mortality rates of children less than 5 years old have been declining between 2006 and 2009 but highest in Uganda though declining from 136 to 128 deaths per 1000 deaths. In Tanzania, the deaths declined from 119 to 108 deaths, Kenya 91 to 84 deaths, Rwanda 131 to 111 deaths, and Burundi 170 to 166 deaths. The declining trends of the child mortality rates should be maintained by partner states in the quest to reduce child mortality.
In 2006, (under MDG 6) the maternal deaths per 100,000 deaths in Burundi stood at 608 compared to those of Rwanda standing at about 750 deaths, Kenya’s maternal deaths decline from 414 to 410 in 2006 and 2009 respectively. Uganda’s maternal deaths stood at 435 while Tanzania’s declined from 580 to 577 deaths in 2009. The total fertility rates (TFR) have consistently declined in all the partner states. Uganda’s TFR declined from 6.5 in 2006 to 5.9 in 2010. In Tanzania, it declined from 5.6 to 5.3, in Kenya 4.7 to 4.5, Rwanda 6 to 5.1, and Burundi 6.3 to 4 in 2010. While the EAC is working towards sustainable economic growth and development, fostering global partnerships remains a priority to the Partner states. Article 130 of the EAC Treaty underscores the EAC’s commitments to cooperate with other regional economic communities, international organizations and development partners. These global partners include the Africa Union, the United Nations Organization and its agencies, bilateral and multilateral development partners. In seeking partnerships with these critical stakeholders, partner states aim at accelerating the pace of economic growth and development in East Africa which is the ultimate objective of the EAC. Global partnerships can be fostered through technological development.
MDG 8 achievements in terms of total debt service, internet use and mobile cellular subscriptions show consistent positive results. The region’s debt service levels have been declining. Burundi has the highest debt service level which declined from 40 per cent to 28 per cent from 2006 to 2008. Internet usage has been increasing in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda but has remained stagnant in Tanzania and Burundi. Mobile subscriptions have also been increasing in the region with highest performance experienced in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda at 42, 31 and 27 people per 100 people respectively. Rwanda and Burundi also recorded remarkable improvements recording 14 and 6 people per 100 people respectively in 2009. The performances however show that EAC still has a potential in technological advancement. Technological development still remains a high potential area for EAC industrial development. This is an area where global partnerships will play a critical role.

2.9 Cross-cutting Issues
The cross-cutting issues of gender equality, health and sustainable utilization of natural resources forms cardinal objectives of EAC which in part is being monitored at partner state level through achievements of MDGs (Table 2.14). Rwanda is leading in terms of Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (Goal 3). The proportion of women parliamentarians has increased from 49 to 56 per cent for Rwanda; Uganda 30 to 31 per cent; Tanzania 30 to 32 per cent; and Kenya 7 to 10 per cent 2006 and 2010. Burundi’s women parliamentarians were constant at 31 per cent.
The EAC is working towards better access to medical services so that the effects of HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB diseases (MDG 6) on economic growth and development are reduced. The HIV/AIDS prevalence in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi remained at 6 per cent, 3 per cent and 2 per cent respectively between 2006 and 2008. In Tanzania, HIV/AIDS prevalence declined from 7 per cent in 2006 to 6 per cent in 2008. Similarly, the prevalence on the incidence of tuberculosis in EAC has been declining. In Uganda, the incidence per 100,000 people declined from 350 in 2006 to 310 in 2008. In Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi during the same period, it declined respectively from 200 to 190, 370 to 330, 410 to 390 and 380 to 360. This is an indication of the EAC success in mitigating the spread of HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis. Nevertheless, access to medication by the infected East Africans should be sustained to guarantee them longer and happy living.
One of the objectives of the EAC in article 5 (c) of the Treaty is collaboration among partner states towards maintenance of sustainable utilization of natural resources and protection of the environment, which is consistent with MDG 7. The forest cover among some EAC partner states has declined greatly below the United Nations benchmark of at least 10 per cent or more forest cover in a country. Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda are the countries in East Africa with over 10 per cent of forest cover. Kenya and Burundi have the lowest forest cover which remained at 5-6% between 2006 and 2008. The region therefore should collaborate in the restoration of forest cover. Kenya has embarked on an ambitious program to plant trees in Kenya’s major water catchment areas including Mau, Aberdares and Mt. Kenya forests. Article 111 of the Treaty underpins the need for cooperation and partnerships in the management of the environment and the natural resources. This is more critical now in the current period of adverse climate changes.

3 3.1 Key Integration Pillars
The priority areas of intervention the strategy identified during the period 2006-2010, were in line with the broad goals of consolidating and completing the EAC Customs Union; establishing the Common Market; and laying the foundation for Monetary Union and an E.A Political Federation; enhancing the productive capacities and infrastructure development; capacity building and institutional development and wider stakeholder empowerment and involvement.
While substantial achievements have been recorded as highlighted under the different sectors in this chapter, there were overarching challenges towards the achievements of the set objectives which include budgetary constraints; mismatch between regional and Partner state development planning; and inadequate national level capacities to domesticate regional policies. Other challenges include supply side constraints; weak legal, regulatory and dispute settlement mechanisms and requisite powers for EAC to enforce Community obligations and decision; weak institutional infrastructure and inadequate enforcement machinery and sanction mechanism; and lengthy decision making systems and processes. Critical private sector constraints include limited supply capacities to take advantage of the available regional preferential market access; and under-developed regional infrastructure. The general public sector .challenges relate to lack of timely and reliable regional statistics coupled with a weak information sharing culture among Partner States.
3.1.1 EAC Customs Union
(a) Achievements
The principle objective of the CU (Article 75(5), which came into effect in 2005, is to deepen the integration process through liberalization and promotion of intra-regional trade; promotion of efficiency in production in response to intra-region competition among businesses, enhancement of domestic, cross border and foreign investment and promotion of industrial diversification with a view to enhance economic development. Against these set targets, steady progress has been recorded in the implementation of a common external tariff; Rules of Origin and standards and gradual elimination of internal tariffs. Other complementary achievements include establishment of key institutions, systems, instruments, a legal framework (EAC Customs Management Act), conclusion of the regional Competition Act (2006), policies and strategies; promotion of EAC as a single investment area and initiation of common trade policy frameworks and reviews (WTO trade policy review, FEPA, TIFA); and expansion of the membership of the community to include Rwanda and Burundi. The outcome of EAC CU has resulted in diversification of product range, improved market access, and business activities for the region’s SMEs; increased awareness of EAC integration agenda (90% awareness, 75% positive rating); common external trade policy starting with negotiation of EPA and AGOA investment as a block; accessibility to cross-border resources and FDIs; wider stakeholder involvement and enhanced government revenues. The Customs Union has also led to improvement of EAC intra-trade performance between 2006 and 2008. Intra-EAC total trade increased from US$1,979.2 Million to US$3,339.4 Millions during this period. Exports increased from US$1,084.9 Million to US$1,902.9 Million in the same period, while imports increased from US$874.3 Million to US$1,436.5 Million. EAC therefore experienced a trade surplus which increased from US$411.4 Million to 466.4 Millions.
(b) Challenges
While the business community is generally optimistic about the CU business climate including expanded opportunities for doing business, in the interim however, there is apprehension with regard to cumbersome customs administration; inappropriate trade facilitation; inadequate revenue management; inappropriate

customs trade partnership; inadequate human and capital resources; slow pace in the elimination of NTBs; delays at national level for the implementation of regional commitments including operationalisation of the competition act; continued loss of government revenues; inappropriate Duty Remission Regulations and the Rules of Origin; trade challenges from multiple memberships; and poor state of infrastructure. Others include inadequate relationships with the private sector and international organizations; weak legal, regulatory and dispute settlement mechanisms; high derogation of CET; and inappropriate harmonization and application of Rules of Origin.
3.1.2 EAC Common Market
(a) Achievements
The key achievement under the Common Market is the successful conclusion of the negotiation, signing and ratification of the EAC Common Market Protocol. The strategic thrust of the CM Protocol is that of enhancing and institutionalizing the guaranteed provisions in the Protocol through harmonization of policies, legal and regulatory framework and establishment of supportive institutions to facilitate private sector investments, efficient and effective service delivery and wide stakeholder involvement.
In addition to the Partner State autonomous liberalization the SAPs and the WTO offers; the preparatory process for the implementation of the EAC Treaty has resulted in the achievements of gradual currency convertibility and macro-economic convergence; adoption of common travel documents, work permits and fees for education, tourism, etc; common negotiating frameworks; substantial progress in harmonization of academic and professional qualifications; free movement of capital and harmonization of transport facilitating instruments.
This has resulted in increased cross border student exchange, alternative methods of mobilizing additional development resources from the stock markets, joint sporting activities including interuniversity sports, free movement of natural persons and labour.
(b) Challenges
A number of challenges stand in the way of realizing the full benefits of the Common Market. These include inadequate institutional, national and regional level capacities to domesticate regional policies and information access; low levels of awareness across Partner States; inappropriate legal and regulatory frameworks, continued nationalistic tendencies, weak private sector, differences in education systems, cultural diversities, language barriers, differences in level of economic development including limited participation of the various stakeholders; weak capacities of implementing agencies; inadequate safeguard measures and dispute settlement mechanisms; incomplete harmonization of examination and certification; inappropriate labour policies and legislation; weak urban planning policies and disparities in intra-regional trade.
3.1.3 EAC Monetary Union
(a) Achievements
Serious negotiations of the EAC Monetary Union Protocol commenced in January 2010. Nevertheless, substantial progress in the 1st ten years has been recorded in terms of Partner States currencies convertibility; approximation of banking rules and regulations; harmonization of fiscal and monetary policies and trading practices and regulations in the Stock Exchanges.

(b) Challenges
Nevertheless, the challenges anticipated during the negotiations of the EAC MU include fears of impacts of a single currency; limited national and regional capacities; divergent socio-economic policies and structures; and disparities in political views and commitments; inadequate manpower, capacity and skills and inappropriate legislative and institutional frameworks for managing a robust financial sector. In addition, there is high degree of vulnerability to adverse external effects given that Partner State external debts are unsustainable. There is also the lack of safeguards for the country specific problems that are subsequently transferred to the entire region.
3.1.4 Political Federation
a) Achievements
The principles underpinning the EAC political integration include harmonization and coordination of regional policy frameworks with regard to good governance, democracy, peace and security, defence, human rights and social justice, international relations. Peace and security are pre-requisites to economic and social development within the Community. The key achievements in the last ten years include the establishment of the cardinal regional institutions (Parliament, Court,) linked to national frameworks. The institutionalization of regional mechanisms and programmes for early warning and disaster preparedness, Conflict Prevention Management and Resolution (CPMR), refugee management, combating proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons is ongoing; Fora such as the EAC Forum of Electoral Commissions; Forum of National Human Rights Commissions; Anti-Corruption/Ombudsman agencies, and Forum of Chief Justices. The Nyerere Centre for Peace research has been established to spearhead research on matters of peace & security, governance and foreign policy coordination all being key pillars of political integration. A number of protocols are due to be completed including the Protocol on combating and preventing corruption and the Protocols on Good Governance; Peace and Security; and on Cooperation in Defence are all at different and advanced stages. The Protocol on foreign policy coordination was adopted and is undergoing ratification. Full implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Defence on areas including joint trainings, military exercises, joint operations, technical cooperation, and visits/exchange programmes
(b) Challenges
One of the major drivers to attaining political integration remains the maintenance of political will and commitment as well as flexibility, good governance practices, political responsibility and creating a conducive environment for enforcement of regional policies. It also includes building cohesion and unity in management of international relations and pursuit of mutual interests on the international arena. However, governance challenges including inadequate capacity and financial resources, weak institutions, slow implementation of policies, slow law and constitutional reform processes, sovereign sensitivities and lack of clarity on the type of federation EAC is to embrace still hold the pace of integration.. There is also need to nurture the culture of democracy, and embracing electoral competition in a mature, consensual and non-adversarial spirit among all players. The differences in electoral cycles and political systems are likely to be exacerbated by insecurity associated with terrorism and piracy, continued political instability in the region, wide spread trade in small arms.
Fostering and maintaining an atmosphere that is conducive to peace, security and stability is likely to be affected by slow process of developing and adopting legal and policy frameworks for CPMR; sluggish implementation of SALW control programmes; inappropriate measures for combating terrorism; un-harmonized IDP and Refugee management practices; and slow implementation of joint measures to

combat cattle rustling. Difficulty in subsuming defence activities, especially those which involve some classified action, into the EAC institutional arrangements; Difficulty in attracting external support for Defence Sector activities, which are highly classified and cannot easily attract external support, hence hampering implementation of the objectives of the Defence Sector.
3.2 Social Sectors
3.2.1 Health
(a) Achievements
Improvement in the quality of life and social well being of the East African people depends on the provision, affordability and access to good health services for the prevention and control communicable and non-communicable diseases, including HIV & AIDS.
The key achievements include the strengthening of regional cooperation and integration in the health sector through the harmonization of national policies, legislation, strategies, standards, guidelines, databases and regulatory systems. Among the policies harmonised are pharmaceutical policies, food safety and quality policies, and disease surveillance, university medical and dental schools curricula, sexual and reproductive health policies. These were geared towards enhancing provision of regional health services, cross-border disease prevention and control.
(b) Challenges
The Partner States share a common regional disease profile whereby various communicable and non-communicable diseases continue to cause high morbidity and mortality rates. The challenges in the delivery of health services in the region include weak institutional coordinating frameworks; inadequate financial and human resources; lack of harmonised and coordinated interventions at cross-border areas; inadequate insurance cover; limited access to essential medicines and quality services; and weak M&E systems. Moreover, public health laboratory diagnostic capacity for priority diseases and networking is weak at both regional and national level.
Other challenges include weak coordination and harmonization of health policies and strategies for the region and monitoring regional and global commitments for health and HIV&AIDS; fragmented medical research and training on communicable diseases; and inappropriate mainstreaming of health related issues into regional and national strategic plans.
3.2.2 Education, Science and Technology
(a) Achievements
Education is a critical sector whose performance directly affects and determines the equality and magnitude of the Community’s development. It is the most important means to develop human resources, impart appropriate skills, knowledge and attitudes. The main achievements under the education sector is the production of revised criteria in indemnifying Centres of Excellence, carrying out a successful study on the Regional Situation Analysis (SITAN) on the education sector response to HIV and AIDS, developing Regional strategies for a five year operational Development Plan and a Resource mobilization Strategy, conducting annual essay writing competitions, carrying out the Regional study on the harmonization of the EAC Education systems and training curricula, developing protocols and bill establishing the East African Science and Technology Commission.

The human resource development initiative is being challenged by lack of a Regional Science and Technology Policy; inadequate mechanisms for regional collaboration and networking on research and technology development and innovations; duplication of efforts on HIV/AIDS research and constrained sensitization on HIV/AIDS; incomplete reform and harmonization of East African Education systems; and lack of an institutional framework for reforming examinations, certification and accreditation.
3.2.3 Gender, Community Development and Empowerment
(a) Achievements
The overall objective of mainstreaming gender and community development issues in the EAC policies, strategies and programmes towards the attainment of sustainable economic growth and human development. Achievements towards this noble objective during the 3rd development strategy have been achieved through laying the foundation for an EAC Social Development Framework; policies for youth and people with disabilities; strategic plans for youth, gender, children, community development and social protection; regular evaluation of the attainment of MDGs in the EAC; implementation of a multi-sectoral approach of social development;
(b) Challenges
The thrust of the challenges encountered in the implementation gender and community development include weak regional institutional framework; inadequate resources for the implementation of the Sectoral Priorities; and lack of a Sectoral Council for setting policy directions for the implementation of sector projects and programmes as well as inadequate “Participation of the Citizenry (civil society, women, youth, and private sector) and limited mainstreaming gender issues into regional programming.
3.2.4 Labour and Immigration
(a) Achievements
The labour conditions envisaged in the CM have partially been implemented within the context of the CU. Other achievements made cover harmonization of labour policies and legislation, procedures for issuance of entry/work permits; adoption of the necessary legal framework for the issuance of IDs to Uganda and Tanzania nationals; and adoption of regional passport. Other achievements include harmonization of policies for employment creation and productivity improvement; and development of an East African Human Resource development and Utilization strategy.
(b) Challenges
The critical challenges in improving labour and immigration conditions include disparities in the implementation of the labour, social security and immigration policies and strategies; resource constraints; and lack of capacity and institutional structures to monitor and oversee the implementation of the agreed regional decisions, policies and strategies; and the requisite statistics for planning and policy decision purposes.

3.2.5 Culture and Sports
(a) Achievements
Culture and sports promises to diversify opportunities for the youth in particular to earn a living from talent, create avenues for good health, entertainment and regional cohesion. The achievements in culture and sports include development of the EAC Symbols of Cultural Identity in particular, the EAC Anthem; establishment of the EAC Kiswahili Commission and the Culture and Sports Commission.
(b) Challenges
The initiatives to leverage the region’s cultural diversity for socio-economic likely to be hampered by inadequate institutional infrastructure and funds to implement sector plans and programmes; poor coordination of sector interventions; policy limitations in tapping into talent and diverse cultures; inadequate collaboration between EAC and regional and international organizations; poor development of culture and supports infrastructure / facilities; and limited private sector involvement in promotion of culture and sports.
3.3 Productive Sectors
The productive sectors are the cornerstones of the livelihood of the EAC people. These sectors employ the majority of the East African People and can be transformed into fostering the region’s quest for sustained economic growth and development. Consequently, the strategies for developing the productive sectors are meant to create the requisite opportunities for enhancing the welfare of the people of East Africa through improved competitiveness, regional and global integration.
3.3.1 Agriculture and Food Security
(a) Achievements
The regional strategic interventions of enhancing supply capacities in agriculture entailed identifying high value agricultural sub-sectors for which the region has a competitive advantage and capitalize on investments that can facilitate Partner States to transform their respective economies. Others include the development of an EAC Strategy Plan on agriculture and Food Security; harmonization of regional policies; regulations, SPS, and pest control standards; development of regional programmes on bio-safety and bio-technology, trans-boundary disease control and emergency preparedness; formulation of special trade regime on SME cross border trade and the prioritization of agriculture sector within AU framework; and strengthening of national Agriculture/Livestock institutions, farmers, traders and processors associations.
(b) Challenges
The challenges in the agricultural sector include inadequate productive capacities, weak legal and regulatory policies, inadequate and ill equipped extension services; inadequate resources allocated to the agricultural sectors; high input costs, high food insecurity, non-functional marketing and related support institutions, fragmented research; limited competition and commercialization of the agricultural sector, low value addition, low productivity and entrepreneurship, limitations of the transport sector, land policy usage, limited irrigation applications, technology adaptation and innovation; poor coordination across the different stakeholders, cross border trade and inadequate human and financial resources for programme implementation and adaptation.

3.3.2 Environment and Natural Resources Management.
(a) Achievements
Sustainable Development is the ultimate aspiration of the EAC partner states. Restoration and protection of the environment and natural resources opens the door to sustainable socio-economic development in East Africa. The Protocol on Environment and Natural Resource Management provides for joint actions to address climate change. Achievements recorded in the 3rd development strategy include development and harmonization of regional and national policies and legislation on environment; implementation of environmental assessment guidelines for minerals and shared ecosystems; and development of climate change policy and master plan; policy harmonization of regional and continental level bio-safety; and institutionalization of joint participation of EAC in International Treaties and Conventions.
(b) Challenges
The challenges in the promotion of value addition, productivity and competitive agricultural supplies and natural resource include lack of compliance with environmental laws; inadequate environmental information; weak environmental regulations; lack of laws and regulations on transparency; lack of enforcement mechanisms and of application of the existing regulation on sanctions; underdeveloped capacity for integrated environmental assessment, education and reporting; poor information sharing on trade in illegally harvested forest products; poor promotion and inadequate protection of indigenous/traditional knowledge of biological resources and eco-systems; inadequate human and financial resources; and inadequate value addition to natural resources. In addition, challenges faced include lack of effective legislation and inadequate funds and services for municipal waste management; low priority given to solid waste management; inadequate facilities for sanitary disposal of waste water; constant breakages and leakages of sewerage system due to increased discharge to fixed systems and inadequate sanitation facilities. Kenya’s and Burundi’s forest cover stands at respectively 6 and 5 per cent below the internationally required threshold and poses environmental and resource management challenges in East Africa.
3.3.3 Industry and Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development
(a) Achievements
The development of vibrant and robust industrial base will accelerate the pace of economic growth and development in the EAC region. In order to lay a firm foundation for industrial development in the region (as articulated in articles 79 and 80 of the EAC Treaty), and in keeping with the commitments at continental level, the Community has formulated a Draft EAC Industrialization Policy and Strategy. The EAC CU and CM Protocols constitute the critical milestones of the industrial policy whose mission is to create market driven, regionally and internationally competitive industrial sectors based on comparative and competitive advantages of Partner States. At policy level, the EAC draft Industrial Policy and Strategy (for the period 2010-2030) under preparation prioritizes key sectors targeting flagship industries with strong forward and backward linkages.
Within the framework of the CU since 2005, the harmonization of the policy, legal and regulatory frameworks have to a large extent lead to expanded trade and investment opportunities. Intra-regional trade though dominated by agriculture products now accounts for 11% with potential for further increase. Cross border investments stood at US$ 265,000 in 2006 and US$ 750,000 by 2009.

Other achievements were the development of a draft framework for fostering cooperation in technology acquisition, development, transfer; and commercialization of innovations; IP frameworks; formulation of a framework for mainstreaming cleaner and resource efficient production in industries; and in collaboration with UNIDO, formulation of a programme on upgrading and modernization of the SME businesses in the region.
(b) Challenges
The industrial capability in EAC is weak and faced by various challenges that have slowed its transformation. The manufacturing sector in the region contributes less than 10% of GDP, and is characterized by limited value addition which is highly concentrated in agro-processing activities. The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which form the bulk of the industrial sector by establishments, and contributes to more than 60 percent employment, has the potential of addressing the development needs of the region such as poverty reduction, technological innovation, economic linkages and reduction of disparities in regional development if well mainstreamed into the formal economy.
Other challenges include weak supply capabilities; less than adequate policy and regulatory frameworks; inadequate entrepreneurship; low capacity utilization; fragmented and underdeveloped regional capital markets, weak industrial synergies limiting exploitation of economies of scale in production; lack of coordination between private and public sector initiatives; weak information and institutional support framework; energy and infrastructural bottlenecks; slow pace of technological absorption due to weak research and technological capabilities; incoherent policies on value addition; inadequate skills for specific industries, particularly at technical and technician levels; and unfavourable business environment including counterfeiting; and lack of financial schemes to support investment into industrial sector. In addition, there is inadequate scope in responding to impact of globalization and international politics; low savings; limited private sector participation and/or investments and FDI inflows; low industrial productivity; and severe occupational health and safety measures.
3.3.4 Tourism and Wildlife
(a) Achievements
As a step towards maximizing benefits from sustainable tourism and wildlife resources, the Protocol on Tourism and Wildlife Management, the Tourism Marketing Plan and Strategy were concluded in 2006/2007. The region is now being promoted as a single tourism and wildlife destination including joint participation in at the World Travel Markets (WTM). The success of the tourism sector has benefitted from immense private sector investments in hotels, transportation, marketing and product development and dedicated government efforts in conservation. Other benefits have come from a Standard Criteria for Classification of Hotels and other facilities; identification of three Centres of Excellence and the finalization of the Protocol and Operational Manual. Overall, tourists visiting EAC increased from 3.030 million in 2006 to 3.408 million in 2008.
(b) Challenges
The challenges the sector has experienced include narrow range and poor tourism products; inadequate and inefficient infrastructure; insecurity; negative adversaries from source markets and stiff competition from relatively cheap destinations. In addition, there is inadequate financial and human resource; absence of harmonized policies and strategies; uncoordinated joint international tourism promotion and participation in fairs and exhibitions and lack of common approach to implementation of international and regional treaties or agreements. Inadequate Research and Development and underdeveloped framework for e-commerce continues to hamper the development of the tourism and wildlife sector.

3.3.5 Investment Promotion and Private Sector Development
(a) Achievements
Private sector roles and operations are increasing in scope, following the redefinition of the roles of government to reduce its direct engagement in business operations. The private sector has been a key player and beneficiary of the CU and its role will expand within the CM framework. The main achievement was the development of the regional Private Sector Development (PSD) Strategy. In addition, each Partner State has put in place measures to enhance the participation of private sector in development. Avenues for increased private sector participation have been integrated in all sectors of the economy and private sector enterprises are investing in the communities through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). As a result, investments to the EAC region have improved significantly. The FDI inflow total to the EAC region increased from US$1,323 billion in 2006 to US$1,714 billion in 2009. On the other hand, FDI stock also increased from US$9.33 billion in 2006 to US$14.866 billion in 2009.
(b) Challenges The constraints affecting PSD in the region include: lack of harmonized policies at macro-economic and sector specific levels; weak institutional framework for private sector coordination and governance; limited access to financial resources particularly for SMEs; poor infrastructural support services. Other challenges include: tight fiscal and monetary policies; un-harmonized tax regimes, restrictive legal and administrative regimes, prevalence of NTBs, lack of capacity of the private sector to act as engine of growth.
3.4 Infrastructure Development
The Development Strategy (2006/2010) posited that the EAC regional integration agenda would be supported by the development of adequate and reliable supporting infrastructure in transport and communications. This would be achieved through improvement and expansion of the existing transport and communication links; and establishment of new ones as a means of furthering the physical cohesion of the Community.
3.4.1 Roads
(a) Achievements
The cardinal objective of road development is the improvement of connectivity and operations across the region to facilitate business and encourage investment at national and regional level. The key achievements include the establishment of road agencies and road funds; the construction of the flagship projects for Arusha – Namanga – Athi River Road; the preparation of an EAC Transport Strategy and Road Sector Development Programme; the development of a framework for harmonization of policies and regulations in the road sector; the establishment of a one stop border post at Namanga operating on a 24-hour basis and the prioritization of key regional roads within national programmes. The incorporation of roads projects for Rwanda and Burundi in the regional road network was also accomplished.
(b) Challenges
The key challenges to development of the regional roads arose from disconnect between regional programmes and national priorities; disparities in transport regulation; lack of applications of international road standards; limited private sector involvement in road infrastructure development; poor maintenance standards and stress on road transportation for goods leading to early failure. Other challenges are insufficient resources to carry out feasibility and detailed design studies; poor road safety enforcement standards; complicated procurement systems leading to long gestation periods; high and fluctuating

costs of construction; lack of capacity of local contractors to design and deliver durable roads, limited integration of road transport to other modes of transportation; Low absorption capacity of development loans; inadequate data for planning purposes and existence of non tariff barriers.
3.4.2 Railways
(a) Achievements
The improvement of railway transport was meant to maximize benefits from an efficient railways system. The Partner States have reached different stages in the restructuring of the railways infrastructure. Towards this end the key achievements included the restructuring of the railways services through concessioning; the preparation of the EAC Railways Master Plan complemented by national plans; the studies on a new railway line linking the port of Dar es Salaam to Burundi and Rwanda; and the initiation of studies to modernize the existing railway network.
(b) Challenges
The challenges to railways development remain the high cost of capital required for investments in the sector; the limited coverage of the rail infrastructure and the lack of local capacity to negotiate and draw appropriate legal contracts for concessions. Other constraints included lack of funds to implement the East African Railways Master Plan and the absence of a regional railways regulator to set operations and safety standards for rail concessions.
3.4.3 Maritime and Inland Waterways Transport
(a) Achievements
The East African region has the availability of navigable water resources with the most prominent being the Indian Ocean and Lake Victoria hence the need to have safe and secure maritime operations. This initiative has been partly achieved through reduction of cargo dwell time at the sea ports; establishment of the Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) to manage transport on the Lake Victoria; the preparation of an Inland Waterways Transport Agreement; development of the Protocol for Sustainable Development of the Lake Victoria Basin; and capacity enhancement of national maritime institutions.
(b) Challenges
The coordination and harmonization of maritime transport has been affected by congestion and delays at the sea ports; under utilization of the waterways; piracy and terrorism and complex freight clearance procedures; inadequate berthing facilities at ports; inadequate storage facilities and inability of ports to accommodate larger post-panamax vessels; inadequate inter-modal transport systems; inadequate technical personnel; lack of Maritime Search and Rescue coordination Centre for inland lakes; and lack of regional systems for preparedness and response to accidental marine pollution.

The main achievements of civil aviation as one of the avenues to enhance regional connectivity included the easing of flight connectivity within the region and the rest of the world; establishment and operationalization of the East African Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Organization (CASSOA); initiation of the liberalizing of civil aviation activities and harmonization of the EAC Civil Aviation Regulations; development of the Search and Rescue Agreement; preparations for the establishment of the Unified Upper Flight Information Region (UFIR); implementation of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for selected EAC Airports; and the development of the 5-year plan of Priority Airports in the region.
(b) Challenges
The challenges in the civil aviation sector related to incomplete integration and harmonization of EAC Civil Aviation systems, divergent programmes and projects; partial liberalization of Civil Aviation activities; lengthy and expensive procurement systems; inadequate technical personnel especially in the areas of Air Accident Investigations, Flight Safety and Airworthiness Inspection; shortage of pilots; perceived insecurity in the Great Lakes Region and large capital requirements limiting investment in air transport; and limited mandate and capacity of CASSOA to carry out oversight roles.
3.4.5 Meteorology
Delivery of meteorological services including application of weather and climate products remains national though harmonization of policies is better handled regionally. The application of weather, climate and hydrological information and related services helps improve the safety and well-being of people and reduce damage to property, reduce poverty, improves safety of the transport sector and helps in monitoring and protecting the environment for future generations. Studies have shown that up to 60 per cent of all economic activities are weather sensitive. Further, studies have also shown that over 90 per cent of all natural disasters are weather and climate related. Meteorological services therefore play a leading role in disaster risk reduction.
(a) Achievements
Meteorological services facilitate operations of air navigation, ocean and maritime services navigation, coastal shipping, inland waterways transport and issuing of warning against cyclone and other adverse weather conditions, hence the need for expanding and upgrading meteorological services.Achievements were made in harmonization of meteorological policies; development of a common policy for data exchange; enhancement of capacities of meteorological services in support of sustainable development; establishment of the East African Meteorological Society; preparation of an agreement on a cost recovery strategy, development of a quality management framework for Aeronautical Meteorological Services and development of a Climate Change Master Plan.
(b) Challenges
The challenges have been inadequate investments in the meteorology sector due to budgetary constraints; inadequate capacity in climate analysis, seasonal/forecasting and meteorological observation; limited stakeholder involvement in uptake of meteorological products; inadequate meteorological infrastructure including observational, meteorological communication and computing facilities; high costs of infrastructure development, and inadequate automation in the provision of meteorological services.

3.4.6 Information, Communication and Technology (ICT)
(a) Achievements
Information technology and communication covers telecommunication, postal services broadcasting, internet services and information technology. EAC recognized the importance of ICT in meeting the challenges posed by globalization and facilitating the regional integration agenda. The overall aim of ICT development was to integrate ICT into the regional development. This has been achieved through the development of a regional framework for harmonization of ICT policies and regulations; the deployment of submarine cable networks to improve international connectivity; the preparation of a detailed feasibility study for the establishment of cross-border broadband networks; developing a regional legal framework for Cyber laws; preparation of a roadmap for the smooth transition from analog to digital broadcasting; and development of a strategy to reform the postal sub-sector.
(b) Challenges
The integration of ICT into socio-economic parameters is mainly constrained by inadequate ICT infrastructure and limitations on universal access as well as low ICT knowledge and skills; inadequate legal and institutional frameworks for electronic commerce, e-government and electronic security; low usage of ICT in business and services sectors operations; negative impact of globalization; poor spectrum management in the face of changing technology and inadequate preparation for the emergence of new technologies. Other constraints included lack of a regional ICT Master Plan; poor coverage of remote and rural areas; deficient frameworks for promoting Public-Private Partnerships in the sub-sector; and inadequacies of national ICT policies to enable them meet the challenges of a dynamic technological world.
3.5 Sector Support Programs
3.5.1 Legal and Judicial Affairs
(a) Achievements
The overall aim of legal and judicial affairs was to harmonize legal training and certification and encouraging the standardization of the judgments of courts within the Community. Governance and democracy has been the cornerstone of the political and economic reforms carried out in the region. Towards this end, a number of steps have been taken in approximation and harmonization of laws and policies including establishment of embodiment of regulations on migration, commercial laws, corruption, ethics, economic crimes and judicial service reforms in each of the Partner States.
(b) Challenges
The rule of law is a critical element in building strong institutions that are a prerequisite for economic growth and human development in East Africa. The cooperation in legal and judicial affairs for facilitating the EAC integration process is being challenged by un-harmonized laws, policies, regulations, procedures and standards; inappropriate provision of statutory advice and services to the Organs and institutions of the Community; weak legal, regulatory and dispute settlement mechanisms and requisite powers for EAC to enforce Community obligations and decisions; inadequate development and support for EAC’s oversight role, financial, administrative and ICT systems; weak laws on non-discrimination to promote

inclusion of women and disadvantaged groups in electoral and political processes; and inappropriate flow of information, transparency and accountability-with respect to corruption, ethics, integrity and civilian oversight.
3.5.2 Financial Management
(a) Achievements
The overall aim of financial management is to improve EAC’s oversight role, financial and ICT systems. The key achievements realized included strengthening the finance function through recruitment of additional staff to manage donor funded projects; upgrading of the Sun System Accounting Software; training of Finance and Procurement staff on the upgraded Sun system and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS); training of EAC professional staff in MTEF processes; and development of a comprehensive Financial Policy and Manual; and reviewing of workflow systems to enhance efficiency to the operations of the Community.
Financial management has been enhanced through legal sanctioning and approval by EALA and endorsement by PS Parliaments. In addition, the financial management has been enhanced further through regular and timely preparations of MTEF, audits and financial reporting. More importantly, the directorate has devolved the functions of accounting and budgeting to the Organs and institutions of the Community. Further institutionalization of Resource mobilization mechanisms and strategy will go a long way in addressing Community sustainability issues. The existing structure provides for the management of budgeting, expenditure and auditing processes. Regular overhaul of the financial systems to entrench best practice procedures and accountability have been undertaken.
(b) Challenges
The challenges pertaining to financial management were an unsustainable financing mechanism that leads to over reliance on development partners to fund EAC core activities; weak integrated Financial Management Information System (FMIS); disconnect between financial and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems; constraints in reliance on Partner State budgetary support to regional programming; rapid expansion that exerts much pressure on the limited financial and human resources; and delay in remittances of contributions by Partner States. This slows the achievement of the Community’s objectives.
3.5.3 Human Resources and Administration
(a) Achievements
For the successful implementation of the EAC Development Strategy 2006-2010, it was critical that the mandates of EAC Secretariat, Organs and Institutions was rationalized further with a view to broadening and deepening their roles and responsibilities and empowering them with authority to take decisions that are binding to Partner States. This necessitated the restructuring exercises to realign the structure and functions with the expanding volume of activities under the Community. Other key achievements include; increased staff establishments; development of staff and financial rules and regulations; regular institutional assessments and implementation of outcomes; continuous skills upgrading; and MIS including the library for enhanced information dissemination and publicity; adoption and implementation of new terms and conditions of service for EAC organs and institutions. In addition, a comprehensive institutional review process for all EAC organs and institutions commenced. Other achievements were the formulation of an EAC Governance Code; formulation of Staff Rules and Regulations (2010) and Procurement Guidelines; and the commencement of the construction of EAC headquarters.

The main challenges faced in finance and administration include inadequate staffing levels; lack of career progression; delayed implementation of performance contracts; absence of HR development and staff utilization strategy; disparities in the terms of service for the different staff cadres; lack of authority and legal empowerment to direct and implement regional activities from the centre; inadequate resources for staff training and development; and lengthy recruitment process; delays in implementation of anticipated reforms; inadequate capacity building programmes for EAC Organs, Institutions, ministries and focal points; weak MIS and M&E systems; lack of performance contracting; and overlapping functions within the directorate.
3.5.4 Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
(a) Achievements
Monitoring and Evaluation is an important element of economic development policy formulation and implementation which the EAC is committed to. A participatory M&E process ensures full execution of development programmes in the EAC towards the realization of the human development goals of the community. Under Monitoring and Evaluation, notable achievements include development and Operationalisation of the quarterly and annual reporting at the Directorate, Institutions and Organ levels, using standard and approved reporting formats; development of an EAC Monitoring and Evaluation Manual/ Handbook highlighting the basic principles and best practice of monitoring and evaluation in the context of EAC; finalisation of the mid-term evaluation of the EAC Development Strategy (2006-2010) assessing whether the objectives and the expected results were being achieved; shift towards result based reporting through development of a result based M&E system and strengthening of the capacity for monitoring and Evaluation through appointment of Focal Point Officers to coordinate and liaise with the monitoring and Evaluation unit.
(b) Challenges The challenges encountered covered institutionalizing networked M&E systems at all levels of EAC and national coordinating ministries, including regular and timely progress reporting. Other challenges include building the requisite human and financial capacity for impact assessment and framework for following up the implementation of Summit and Council Decisions;
3.5.5 Harmonisation of Regional Statistics
(a) Achievements
Statistical development is key in research and development towards economic development policy analysis. Contemporary economic development policy analysis needs up to date statistics. The overall aim of statistical development is collecting and establishing a database that suits policy analysis demands in the region. The EAC Statistics Database phase II has been established in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. In addition, harmonisation of compilation practices in the key economic statistics has been initiated in a bid to improve comparability of statistics regionally and internationally with a view to harmonize statistics covering Balance of Payments, Foreign Direct Investments, Agriculture, Consumer Price Indices, and Exchange Rates. In addition, development and finalization of meta data and automation of the database underpinned by a web based application software, regular updating of the EAC Statistics website (www.statistics.eac.int) which disseminates basic regional socio-economic statistical data. Further, a web based database of the EAC Council of Ministers decisions and directives; and a web portal dedicated to statistics was developed and placed on the EAC website to facilitate exchange of statistical data and disseminate the initiatives and programs being implemented by the statistics department.

(b) Challenges
The need for development of reliable and timely statistics which are critical for measuring progress on the EAC integration agenda is hampered by inadequate human and financial resources allocated to the statistics sector; incompatibility of statistical systems among member states; inadequate statistics at partner state levels for planning, policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation.
3.5.6 Corporate Communications and Public Affairs
(a) Achievements
The overall aim of promoting corporate communication and public affairs is to enhance EAC’s image. EAC Corporate Communication Policy and Strategy development is in progress. The broad aim of the Communication Policy and Strategy is to make the EAC more visible than ever before. A comprehensive sensitization and awareness programme was prepared jointly by the Ministries responsible for EAC Affairs and the Secretariat. Activities have been identified that ought to be implemented at nation and regional levels, as well as those to be jointly carried out by all/or among the Partner States.
The Secretariat continued to maintain a robust Web Portal www.eac.int which has proved to be a resource centre on EAC integration and development issues. The Web Portal has sub-sites on all the key sectors of integration making it possible for different stakeholders to easily access information on the EAC. The publication of The Community monthly e-newsletter, as well as the operations of the EAC Media Centre has made it easier for the media in the region to interact with the EAC Secretariat. Congratulatory messages were sent to the Partner States for the peaceful and successful elections/referendum during the period under review. These and other activities focusing on economic integration, infrastructure and political affairs reflected the deepening EAC integration and received substantial media attention.
(b) Challenges
The rapid technological changes in the ICT industry dictates continuous upgrade the ICT infrastructure, both the hardware and software platforms. The main challenges are: implementation of Corporate EAC integrated Management Information Systems to allow automation of all manual processes at EAC and the integration of the existing applications. Aligned to this is implementation of an effective electronic information exchange between the EAC headquarters and Partner States. The ICT infrastructure should also be further strengthened to allow visual collaboration by introducing EAC Video Conferencing System to be installed initially at six locations, EAC-Arusha and EAC Ministries in all the Partner state capitals.
Dependence on electronic systems requires reliable backup setup and disaster recovery plans for all the mission critical systems. An adequate data centre at the EAC Headquarters with backup and mirrored sites, that incorporate a disaster recovery site, shall therefore be established to include all the required options. There will be need address this challenge by provision of adequate funds for this capital investment.
To effectively delivery the commensurate service to the entire EAC, the ICT function will be strengthened in terms of human resource capacity and continues skills development.
3.5.7 Resources Mobilization
Resource inadequacy remains the critical constraint to implementation of the regional integration agenda at both national and regional levels yet beneficial sustainability of regional integration programmes

depends on secure sources drawn in a manner that does not slow down the pace of the regional integration operations. Further, regional development programmes require huge amounts of financial resources to be successfully completed. Funds from the member states should be complemented by innovative mechanisms of mobilizing additional resources from the private sector and development partners. The donor contributions to EAC budget has increased over time, from a ratio of 85% coming from Partner States and 15% donors to the current levels in 2011 0f 31% Partner States and 69% donors.
(a) Achievements
The EAC Resource Mobilization Policy and Strategy and the proposal for the establishment of the EACDF have been completed; sustained contributions from the Partner States, diversified donor support including institutionalization of the Partnership Fund, and upgrading of the FMIS.
(b) Challenges
Financial management challenges constitute mobilization and management of resources. The resource mobilization constraints relate to delays in the disbursements of Partner States contributions, over reliance on donor support for development programme implementation, lack of capacity to leverage with existing global and regional facilities, including mobilizing development resources from within the region. The financial management constraints include weak integrated FMIS and M&E systems at all levels; bureaucratic approval processes; weak organisational structure to support finance management; inadequate staffing commensurate with EAC expansion; inability for staff to keep up with emerging global financial systems and standards.
In EAC, recurrent expenditure accounts in excess of 70 per cent whereas recurrent development budget constitutes less than 30 per cent. This has particularly worsened with the expansion of the Secretariat due to deepening of the regional integration agenda. There is lack of more innovative ways of raising resources from domestic markets. This includes seeking alternate sources of funding outside the traditional bilateral and multilateral donors and taking advantage of private sector and the capital markets sources.
3.6 EAC Organs & Institutions
3.6.1 East African Legislative Assembly (EALA)
(a) Achievements
Under the Provision of Article 49 of the Treaty, the EALA is mandated to exercise both legislative and oversight functions on all matters within the purview of the EAC. The overall objective of the EALA is to ensure that all required legislations of the Community are enacted as quickly as possible for the efficient functioning of the Organs and Institutions of the Community. Critical achievements under the Third EAC Development Strategy include enhancement of the mandate of EALA; institutionalizing and forging of stronger linkages between EALA and National and international Assemblies; according EALA financial autonomy; and expansion of EALA in light of its increased mandate; enactment of 10 regional laws on the East African Community; establishment of the EAC Bureau of Speakers; institutionalized rotational sittings in each of the Partner States, formation of Inter-Parliamentary Liaison Committees on several subject areas; the annual hosting of the Inter-Parliamentary Relations Seminar; and creation of the EALA website (www.eala.org); expansion of the membership of EALA to 52 with admission of Rwanda and Burundi; intensification of outreach programmes to evaluate living conditions and accessibility of regional infrastructure among others.

(b) Challenges
The challenges of the Assembly included difficulty in consolidating its gains; inadequate institutional frameworks between the regional and national parliaments for enforcement and communication; capacity constraints as a result of expanded mandate; lack of autonomy in financial and administrative decision making; insufficient resources to implement the activities of the Assembly and inadequate human resource capacity; weak oversight roles; and knowledge management arising from high turnover of elected members; differences in the Parliamentary systems among the Partner States particularly with the admission of republics of Burundi and Rwanda who are practice the French Parliamentary System. Furthermore, the adoption of one official language (English) for conducting parliamentary business disadvantages members of parliament from Burundi and Rwanda.
3.6.2 The East African Court Of Justice (EACJ)
a) Achievements
The East African Court of Justice (the Court) is established under Article 9 of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community as one of the Organs of the Community. It forms the Community’s judicial arm. The role of the Court is defined by the Treaty as ensuring “the adherence to law in the interpretation and application of and compliance with the Treaty”.
Since its inception in 2001, the Court has diligently discharged its judicial duties in hearing and determining matters referred to it. The Court got its first case by end of 2005. To date, References and Applications therefrom so far heard amount to a total of 23. A number of other cases are pending before the Court. The increase in number of cases has now pushed the Court to organise hearings every last week of each month. The Court has also carried out a number of other activities most of them administrative in nature. Following its reconstitution in two divisions, namely the First Instance and the Appellate Division, the Court has reviewed its Rules of Procedure to cater for the procedure applicable before each Division. The Court is also in the process of finalising the review of its Rules of Arbitration. This review was initiated following recommedations of stakeholders made during sensitization workshops on the Court’s Arbitral jurisdiction held in the Partner States in 2009 and 2010. The Court also carried out activities aimed at improving its visibility and awareness on its jurisdiction and procedures. In this regard, sensitization workshops were organised in all the Partner States, space was bought in the major East African audio-visual and print media to publicize the Court, among others. The Court has also endevoured to enhance its Judges and Staff skills to enable them improve on the quality of their work by organising, budget allowing, tailored training for them.
b) Challenges
Despite the above mentioned achievements, the Court still faces difficulties in performing its mandate as a judicial organ of the EAC. On the one hand, it is common ground that the Court is still not well known by its stakeholders despite the publicity activities it has been carrying out, hence need to continue sensitizing them on the Court’s role in the EAC integration process. On the other hand, the Court suffers statutory and lack of capacity handicaps.
Statutory challenges include its limited jurisdiction and its working on ad hoc basis.The limited jurisdiction prevents it from being as useful as the East African people would have wished. This is witnessed by a recent case that was brought to Court to challenge the delay made by the Community in concluding the Protocol to extend the Court’s jurisdiction to appellate and human rights matters as being inconsistent with the objectives and principles of good governance, rule of law, and universally accepted human rights standards enshrined in the Treaty. Even the existing juridiction of interpretation and application of the Treaty has been, at various occasions conferred on other judicial and quasi-judicial bodies like national Courts in the case of the Common Market protocol and the East African Trade Remedies Committee that was established under the Customs Union Protocol. The Common Market Protocol also gives very limited

role to the Court as far as dispute settlement is concerned.
The Court’s work is also undermined by the fact that its judges work on ad hoc basis. With the recent increase in cases, it is becoming more and more difficult to secure the availability of Judges because they are at the same time full-time employees in their repectives countries.
Finally, the Court lacks both human and material capacity needed to perform its duties as an independent judicial organ. The Court is yet to be given the required financial and administrative autonomy to ensure its full independence. The Court still relies on the Secretariat on crucial administrative and financial matters which is likely to compromise its independence if the status quo remains. To address this, Council should confer upon the Court administrative and financial autonomy and approve recruitment of additional support staff to handle these new functions and cope up with its increasing judicial work.
3.6.3 Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC)
Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) is a specialized institution of the EAC that is responsible for coordinating the sustainable development agenda of the Lake Victoria Basin. The Protocol for Sustainable Development of Lake Victoria Basin was concluded on November 29, 2003 and was ratified by the Partner States in December 2004. The Protocol provides for areas of cooperation as well as the establishment of Lake Victoria Basin Commission as an apex institution of the EAC responsible for coordinating matters relating to management and sustainable development of the Lake Victoria Basin. The broad mandate of the Commission is to promote: equitable economic growth; measures aimed at eradicating poverty; sustainable utilization and management of natural resources; the protection of environment with the Lake Victoria Basin; and compliance on safety of navigation.
(a) Achievements
Overall, the Commission made substantial progress in the implementation of the strategic intervention areas defined in the 3rd EAC Development Strategy (2006-2010). The specific achievements include strengthening of coordination and management capacity of the LVBC; promotion of investments in the LVB through different fora, in particular the LVB Investment Forum; development of projects and programmes addressing harmonization of trans-boundary natural resources management policies, laws and regulations in LVB; finalisation of the Lake Victoria Water Release and Abstraction Policy; establishment of an HIV&AIDS coordination unit and undertaking of HIV sero-behavioral studies in agricultural plantations, Universities and fishing communities; formulation of the LV transport Act 2007 and Regulations (2010); refurbishment and equipment of RV Jumuiya; completion of the pre-investment study leading to development of a project on maritime communication and safety of navigation in the Lake Victoria; establishment of equity and benefit sharing models for payment of ecosystem goods and services for improved livelihoods; and support to establishment of community revolving fund, plantations for livelihoods and co-management models for ecosystems and biodiversity
(b) Challenges
The mandate of promoting sustainable utilization and management of the natural resources and protection of environment within Lake Victoria Basin is being constrained by incomplete harmonization of policies, laws and standards, weak governance and institutional structures; low stakeholder participation; large disparity of contributions between Partner States and Development Partners in funding LVBC and capacity constraints in terms of infrastructure including office space
3.6.4 Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO)
Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) is an institution of the EAC, which was established by the Convention of 1994 to manage the Fisheries as one entity. The LVFO is an Inter-Governmental

Organization (IGO) registered with the United Nations (UN) as foreseen under Article 102 of the UN Charter with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) – Secretary General as the repository. It is also a Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) foreseen under the Rome Statute. It is an “overlay” institution, made up of it partner organizations. These include East African fisheries departments/ministries, fisheries research institutes, committees and working groups and its Secretariat.
Its principle objectives are to foster co-operation among the Contracting parties, harmonise national measures for the sustainable utilisation of the living resources of the Lake and to develop and adopt conservation and management measures i.e. fisheries management; controlling introductions of exotic fauna and flora; Development of aquaculture; and, Research and capacity building. The institution collaborates with member states on fisheries management and to harmonize policies in the fisheries areas. It also ensures that fish and fish products are available on sustainable basis for consumption in East Africa and have access to international markets.
(a) Achievements
The LVFO continued to harmonize, coordinate and implement measures aimed at promoting sustainable use of fisheries resources of Lake Victoria in line with the Strategic Vision (1999-2015). In 2004, the LVFO Council of Ministers adopted an LVFO Regional Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate, Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing (RPOA-IUU) on Lake Victoria. The RPOA supports the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and links directly to the International Plan of Action on IUU fishing (IPOA–IUU) agreed by the FAO member states. The RPOA contains agreed measures to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal fishing on Lake Victoria, including actions to license and register fishing vessels, strengthen law enforcement on the lake, promote community participation in fisheries through Beach Management Units and implement a series of technical measures designed to ensure sustainable fisheries, including a minimum mesh size for gill nets, slot size for Nile perch and minimum size for tilapia.
A series of guidelines and strategies, including the Harmonised BMU Guidelines, the Monitoring Control and Surveillance (MCS) Strategy and the Regional Strategy and Action Plan for HIV/AIDS in fishing communities of Lake Victoria have been developed to provide essential guidance for regional approaches in key areas of fisheries management and social development.
A substantial amount of resources has been applied to the collection of fisheries data on Lake Victoria, providing the necessary information to undertake stock assessments. A functional, coordinated lake-wide data processing, handling and cataloguing system is has been developed with a centralised data repository at the LVFO Secretariat where the database system is designed to respond to this requirement for 7 of the thematic areas of the lake data collection that are supported by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
LVFO also serves as a clearing-house and data bank for information of Lake Victoria fisheries including the promotion and dissemination of information.
(b) Challenges
The establishment of the Fish Levy Trust to have revenue derived from fish used appropriately for management purpose is proving to be a tough challenge. The move towards harmonizing national measures for sustainable utilization of the living resources as well as developing and adopting conservation and management measures has been mainly constrained by in adequate funds. In addition the coordination of research programmes to acquire sound scientific information has been inadequate including irregular collection, use, storage and transfer of fisheries and socio-economic information needed for management; un-harmonized national policies and legislation for fisheries management on Lake Victoria; and inadequate M&E System to monitor performance of management institutions and impacts on management measures.

The fishing communities face considerable challenges in their living and working conditions on Lake Victoria. There are about 1,500 fish landing sites around the lake, the focal points of socio-economic activities for the communities. The sites, however, are generally poorly served, with 31% accessible by an all weather road and only 5% served with electricity. This makes transport difficult beyond the landing sites and has meant that many sites are hard to reach for service providers.
Development of aquaculture in the region is constrained by a number of factors, including; underdeveloped technology and skills; low quality and inadequate seed and feed; pests, parasites and diseases and failure to commercialize aquaculture activities due to low returns and uncertainties. Other constraints are; limited budget for aquaculture development, ineffective extension services, uncoordinated approach to aquaculture research and extension, unclear policies on fish farming and poor farm management.
3.6.5 Inter University Council of East Africa (IUCEA)
The Inter University Council of East Africa (IUCEA) is one of the surviving institutions of the EAC. The mission of IUCEA is to encourage and develop mutually beneficial collaboration between member universities and Governments and other public and private organizations. During the period under review the IUCEA planned to promote the voice for East African universities. This will be done through strengthened regional communications through networks which link regional Member Universities to relevant sites in East Africa and the world; initiate, assist and encourage the development of East African higher institutions of learning and encourage collaboration in regional research and thereby assist universities to develop centres of advanced study and research on a rationalized basis.
(a) Achievements
The operations of IUCEA are supported by conducive higher education Partner State policies and EA Protocol. The IUCEA has continued collaborating with local and international partners to support researchers, teaching staff and students to undertake research and deliberate on pertinent academic and governance issues in East African Universities. It has also facilitated the implementation of sector-based national and regional development projects. Rwanda and Burundi were officially admitted to IUCEA in March 2008. IUCEA is implementing its Five-year Rolling Strategic Plan for 2006/2007-2010/2011 which was designed to enhance the Councils capacity in carrying out its core mission activities.
(b) Challenges
The full realization the IUCEA mission has been affected by inadequate physical and human resources, inadequate leadership and management capacity of member universities; appropriate strategic regional training and research programmes; incomplete institutionalization of regional higher education quality control and assurance; and poor inter nationalization of higher education and research. Other challenges include incomplete harmonization of curricula for tertiary institutions including the establishment of EA Bursaries Pool and differentiated tuition fees for all East African students in all tertiary institutions.
3.6.6 Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Agency (CASSOA)
CASSOA was established in 2007 as a specialised technical institution of the Community responsible for the development of a sustainable safe, secure, and efficient civil aviation sub-sector in the region in line with the dynamics in the aviation industry and the enhanced economic integration.
(a) Achievements
Civil aviation plays a critical role in the movement of people, goods and services produced within and outside the region. However, this can only be effectively achieved if the industry complies with safety and security international standards. Emphasis was therefore placed in harmonizing civil aviation safety and security regulations which complies with the international standards issued under the Chicago Convention. . In addition, the Agency developed technical guidance materials covering flight safety standards (FSS),

air navigation services (ANS) and aerodromes and ground aids (AGA) to guide implementation of the harmonised regulations. This has made the subsector to be one of the few which is subject to harmonised requirements in the region. The Agency was able to develop its first five year strategic plan and organisation development plan covering the period of 2010/11 to 2014/15. The Agency has also built relationship and collaborations with ICAO, African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), USA Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other oversight organizations internationally.
(b) Challenges
The Agency despite its achievements operates with few challenges mainly linked to lack of a sustainable funding mechanism and its limited mandate. This has resulted in inability to attract and retain technical resources which is also a general problem in the Partner States civil aviation administration. Lack of developed and affordable training system supported by our local higher learning institutions contributes to the few local technical expertise in the industry. Ultimately this has had impact in the effective oversight and implementation of the harmonised regulations in the Partner States. Another noticeable challenge is that in many cases when the Agency formulates or amends the harmonised regulations and submits them to the Partner States for approval and promulgation it take unnecessary long before they are issued or issued at variant times.
3.6.7 East African Development Bank (EADB)
The East African Development Bank operates under the Treaty amending and re-enacting the Charter of the EADB of 1980. Its mandate includes lending for commercial projects, funding of regional infrastructure to support the free movement of goods and the objectives of the EAC Common Market.
(a) Achievements
The Bank’s operations were geared towards consolidation and sustenance of positive gains of 2009. As effective demand for credit started picking up, the Bank maintained its focus of lending to carefully selected and appraised projects. At the same time, the Bank maintained the stepped up momentum in both project supervision and debt recovery. By the end of September 2010, the Bank’s gross portfolio was USD 113 million and the profit for the three quarters was USD 1.18 million.The Bank’s other key milestones and operations include the following:
a) Launching of its operations in the Republic of Rwanda in November 2010.b) Continued engagement with key stakeholders including lenders, both regional and international;
counterparty commercial banks in the region and international markets; holders of the EACB Bonds; International Rating agencies (Fitch Ratings and Global Credit Rating Limited);
c) Upward review of the Bank’s international rating from “negative” to “stable” by the Fitch Rating published in October 2010
d) Continued engagement with its co-finance, e.g. International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Eastern and Southern Trade and Development Bank (PTA Banks); and capital markets regulators in East Africa.
e) Continued engagement with the EAC secretariat on a number of aspects, including: preliminary work towards the establishment of the East African Community Development Fund (EACDF); the 3rd EAC Investor Conference; initial consultative meetings towards the formulation of the EAC Development Strategy 2011-2015.
(b) Challenges
The Bank’s operating environment in 2009 was characterised by challenges occasioned by the global economic slowdown. In addition, the Bank was adversely affected by other operational challenges which include unfavourable market environment, the cost of doing business and infrastructural inadequacies constrained the ability of the banks clients to meet their obligations; and unresolved litigation between the Bank and Blue line Enterprise Limited continues to adversely affect the Bank.

5.1 Rationale
Formulating a Development Strategy is only “half the battle.” Getting it implemented is the other, and generally the tougher one. An important part of strategy implementation is monitoring, that entails taking a periodic look at “how it’s going, and evaluation that entails a systematic and objective assessment of on-going or completed interventions or policies, and the resulting impacts. Hence an effective mechanism for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the Development strategy will be important for a number of reasons:
a) Ensures that the interventions being carried out conform to the development plan b) Ensures that the results being achieved are aligned with the set objectives c) serves as an “early warning system and gives an opportunity for all implementers to
communicate how they are doing where the problems and opportunities lie; d) provision of regular information to all stakeholders on the progress of implementation and
aid informed decision making e) The mechanism allows corrective action and fine tuning “not only the strategies, but the
planning process leading to improved performance.f) Demonstration of public accountability and transparency in the implementation of the
regional projects and programs; g) Promotion of learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing on results and lessons learned among
implementing Partners; and h) Ensures the continuous sharpening and focusing of strategies and assist in the mobilization of
appropriate and responsive interventions at all stages of implementation.
5.2 Monitoring the implementation of the 4th EAC Development
The emphasis of the M&E system for the 4th EAC Development Strategy will be monitoring of outcomes and impact rather than processes and activities. Regular monitoring will focus on the following issues:
a. Activities being implemented within set timelines and progress being made;
b. The rate at which inputs (budgets , staffing and finances) are being used within agreed budget lines;
c. The extent to which the desired results are being achieved in relation to set targets; and
d. Changes in the project environment and whether the assumptions still hold.
5.3 Systematic and timely reporting on the progress of implementation of 4th EAC Development Strategy.
In line with the Result based M&E framework currently being developed; the following key reports shall be regularly compiled:
5.3.1 Monthly Activity Report The report will be prepared on a monthly basis by sector heads or project managers and submitted to heads of directorates. This will contain the status of implementation of key activities and related actions undertaken during that particular month. The report will highlight progress made and any technical support that may be required. It also allows for lessons to be shared, and adjustments made or corrective actions and decisions to be taken, where necessary.

5.3.2 Quarterly Performance Report (Directorate) At Directorate level, a quarterly directorate progress report shall be generated to provide the status of achievement of targeted outputs and the assessment of progress towards the strategy objectives and goals. The Partner States through the Ministries responsible for EAC Affairs will have a link with EAC Secretariat M&E systems to provide information and updates on projects and programmes under implementation. The reports will also provide an opportunity to share “lessons and experiences. The same framework will involve EAC Organs and institutions.
5.3.3 Bi-Annual Progress Report ( Six months) The bi-annual progress report shall be prepared by EAC Secretariat in collaboration with the Partner States through MEACAs, EAC organs and Institutions. The report shall provide progress made in implementing the EAC Development Strategy.
5.3.4 Annual Report The annual report shall provide information and data on the progress made in implementation of the EAC Development Strategy by all relevant stakeholders. The report will highlight the success stories, challenges encountered and innovative solutions to the challenges. It also highlights the priority programs for next year and strategies for maintaining and improving existing programs
In order to create common standards in reporting, agreed formats will be adopted and used at different levels.
5.4 Evaluation of EAC Development Strategy Evaluations will be conducted by way of systematic and objective assessment of on-going or completed interventions, policies and the resulting impacts. The aim will be to determine the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the development interventions. Overall, evaluations will endeav-our to explore the alignment of interventions and policies, change processes that support implementation of the development strategy.
Depending on the focus and timing, the following valuations will be undertaken:
5.4.1 Ex-ante: This evaluation will be carried out before the start to establish the baseline data for particular outcome indicators where base line information.
5.4.2 Periodic Evaluation
This type of evaluation will be carried out at regular intervals, e.g. annually. In the framework of the EAC, the Mid-term Review of the implementation of the Strategy will constitutes a periodic evaluation. Mid-term evaluations will also be carried out for any project of whose life span is at least three (3) years. Other types of evaluations that will be categorized as periodic include: event-triggered evaluations in response to a particular event or set of conditions; request evaluations in response to an ad hoc request, by the Council or Partner States.
5.4.3 Ex-post Evaluation
This evaluation will be undertaken at the end of an intervention/ project or programme particularly focusing on the final results with the aim of providing input and lessons for future in-terventions. An Ex post evaluation will be carried out during the final year of the strategy to assess the impact and sustainability of the various interventions implemented.

5.5 Institutional Framework for Monitoring and Evaluating the Strategy.
The Treaty recognises that monitoring and evaluating EAC projects and programmes is a shared responsi-bility at different levels and by different stakeholders:
a) Article 71 (I c & g) empowers the Secretariat to undertake strategic planning & management, monitoring & evaluation of projects and programmes for the development of the Community and regularly submit reports on activities of the Community to Council through the Coordination committee.
b) Article 14 (2) empowers the Council to promote, monitor and keep constant review of the implementation of the programmes of the Community and ensure its proper functioning”.
c) Article 21 (b) empowers the Sectoral Councils to monitor and keep under constant review the implementation of programmes of the Community within their respective sectors”
d) Article 18 empowers the Coordination Committee to submit from time to time reports and recommendations to the council on the implementation of the Treaty”
e) Article 49 (2c) gives the East African Legislative Assembly powers to consider Annual Reports of the activities of the Community, annual audit reports and any other reports referred to it by the Council
The above framework shall therefore provide a mechanism for effective and efficient monitoring, evaluat-ing and reporting on progress of implementation of the 4th EAC Development Strategy.
5.6 Monitoring and Evaluation Plans/Timetables
The implementation of the M&E mechanism will require the preparation of annual monitoring plans that provide a framework for tracking of the EAC interventions from objectives (outcomes) to outputs and activities. as shown under figure.......

5.7 Data Collection and Information Flow
The monitoring and evaluation plans will be the basis on which data collection will be planned and executed. While there will be various sources of data will include among other: EAC Secretariat, Partner State implementing Ministries, public and private sector institutions, the responsibility of ensuring that relevant data and information is collected, analysed and disseminated will be both the EAC Secretariat and Partner States Coordinating Ministries.
The figure below illustrates the principles and systems that will guide data collection, analysis, and reporting and information flow within the EAC. Standard reporting formats will be used to capture performance data.

Article 132 of the Treaty provides that the budget of the Community shall be funded by equal contributions from the Partner States and receipts from regional and international donations as well as any other sources as may be determined by the Council. The Community may also raise resources through income earned from activities undertaken by the Community. Article 71 (i) states that the Secretariat shall be responsible for the mobilization of resources from Development Partners and other sources for implementation of projects of the Community. These grant based sources of financing the Community programmes have been inadequate.
The implementation of the 4th EAC Development Strategy will require major commitment of sustainable financial and human resources. The EAC Secretariat is currently working on its resource mobilization strategy. This section defines the principles, identifies a number of strategies, instruments, systems and institutional mechanisms that the EAC could use to mobilize financial and non-financial resources for sustainable financing of the proposed interventions. The choice of instruments will depend on the type of the resources and their sources.
6.1 Principles To Guide Effective Resource Mobilisation
The guiding principles for effective resource mobilisation and management will build on inclusiveness and synergy to include:
(a) Partner States increasingly to fund core programs for EAC Integration to entrench Ownership- (b) Programme including extra-ordinary resources to be routed through an integrated EAC(c) Setting priorities for funding against defined time frames in line with needs assessments and
using EAC own regulations and procedures.
(d) Operating from a wide secure resource base through partnership approach, preferably basket funding, to resource mobilization and application
(e) Maintaining a data base of sponsors and recipients, for ease of coordination of resource mobilization efforts within EAC and regional level
(f) Transparency and Accountability including Clarity on programme support costs, Monitoring and reporting
(g) Inclusiveness and synergy- across the different directorates, organs and institutions to enhance efficient use of resources and sustainability.
6.2 Strategies for Resources Mobilisation
6.2.1 Resources from the Partner States
It is anticipated that by the commencement of the implementation of this Strategy, Partner States will have reached an agreement on sustainable funding of the Community including reviewing the Treaty to intro-duce new modalities of Partner State contributions commensurate with the deepened regional integration agenda.
6.2.2 Resources from Development Partners
With regard to resources from development partners, the Community is expected to engage Development Partners through the following mechanisms:a) Signing memoranda of Understanding;b) Signing multi- year Contribution/ financing Agreements;c) Continue with the current engagement with development Partners under the Partnership Fund
Framework/ arrangement; and d) Setting up Development Partner Thematic Working Groups to finance specific sectors and
intervention on the Strategy.

6.2.3 The East African Community Development Fund Mechanism (EACDF)
It is also anticipated that during the course of implementation of the 4th Development Strategy, the mechanism envisaged under the EACDF as an instrument for resource mobilization will be operationalized
6.2.4 Foreign Direct and Portfolio Investment
Attracting foreign investment in a highly competitive environment requires that the region offers attractive investment opportunities. Investors will expect to find in the region, stable and predictable political environment, favorable regulatory environment, macroeconomic stability, quality economic infrastructure and efficient financial markets among others.
6.2.5 Public Private Partnerships( PPP)
PPPs are effective financing mechanisms for both national and regional development activities especially infrastructure projects. EAC Partner States will need to develop and implement policies and strategies on PPPs and market the same to potential investors. PPPs could take the form of Lease contracts, Concessions, Build – Operate- transfer or Build – Own Transfer ( BOT) Corporations; equity participation, among others.
6.3 Resource Requirements for the implementation of the 4th EAC Development Strategy
The five year programme resource requirements amounting USD 1, 288,538,790 is based on the indicative planning figures for the implementation of the various strategic interventions by EAC Organs and Institutions. The strategy will funded through resources mobilisation strategy targeting contributions from Partner States, Development partners and the Private Sector. The on-going consultations on alternative financing mechanisms for the East African Community will therefore be concluded soon, and a more sustainable mechanism identified to ensure timeliness and sustainability in programme/project implementation.
