1.1  BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF EAST AFRICA COMMUNITY

The East African community (EAC) is an Intergovernmental organization comprising the five East Africa Countries i.e. Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. Pierre Nkurunzia is the Current chairman of the East Africa community. The EAC was originally founded in 1967, collapsed in 2008, after negotiations with Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) the EAC agreed to expand free trade area including the three member’s states.

In 2010 the EAC launched its own common market for goods, labor, and capital within the region, with the goal of a common currency by 2012 and full political federation in 2015.

The need to nurture positive and sustainable intercultural dialogue between communities of East Africa is important as it is the best practice in the rest of the world.
