EAST AFRICAN CO-OPERATION: AN ANALYSIS OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

EAST AFRICAN CO-OPERATION: AN ANALYSIS OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS INTRODUCTION The East African Co-operation is an inter-governmental arrangement established to steer the newly rekindled spirit of co-operation between the republics of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The three East African countries cover an area of 1.8 million square kilometres and bring together a population of about 80 million people who share a common history, language, culture and infrastructure. The East African Co-operation's roots historically stretch back to the days before the defunct East African Community which collapsed in 1977. Following the signing of a Mediation Agreement for the division of assets and liabilities of the former Community in 1984, the three states agreed to explore areas of future co-operation and work out concrete arrangements for such co-operation. Subsequent meetings of the three Heads of State of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda saw the setting-up of a follow-up mechanism for regional co- operation, the result of which was the establishment of the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION The East African Co-operation is an inter-governmental arrangement established to steer the newly rekindled spirit of co-operation between the republics of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The three East African countries cover an area of 1.8 million square kilometres and bring together a population of about 80 million people who share a common history, language, culture and infrastructure. The East African Co-operation's roots historically stretch back to the days before the defunct East African Community which collapsed in 1977. Following the signing of a Mediation Agreement for the division of assets and liabilities of the former Community in 1984, the three states agreed to explore areas of future co-operation and work out concrete arrangements for such co-operation. Subsequent meetings of the three Heads of State of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda saw the setting-up of a follow-up mechanism for regional co- operation, the result of which was the establishment of the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation. As the main co-ordinating arrangement for the partner states in promoting and developing programmes aimed at strengthening and deepening co-operation in political, economic, social, cultural and legal affairs, the East African Co-operation's overriding goal is to promote a people-centred development on
