Published purpose
CIDA contributes to a multi-donor pooled fund, which aims to assist the East African Community (EAC) in its efforts to promote and coordinate the adoption by member states of harmonized policies and regulations on customs, tariffs and other trade matters. The project also supports the joint negotiation of extra-regional trade agreements (e.g. with the European Union), and the full participation in the EAC of the new Partner States, Rwanda and Burundi. The EAC is a Regional Economic Community of the African Union (AU), which has the goal of reducing poverty through regional integration, increased trade and economic growth among its member states.
