Introduction
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. (james, 2007)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 catalyzed business confidence and improved people’s awareness about the benefits and costs of integration. The 1st Development Strategy covered the period 1997 -2000 and focused on the re-launching of EAC. 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.
