* Railway lines across Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika open up the region for
colonial development under the management of the East African Railways
Cooperation.
* Customs for goods destined for Uganda are collected at Mombasa port, and a
full Customs Union comprising Kenya, Uganda and, later, Tanganyika is
established in 1917.
* The East African Currency Board, the Postal Union, the Court of Appeal for
Eastern Africa, the East African Governors’ Conference, the East African
Income Tax Board and the Joint Economic Council are established.
* The East African Airways Corporation is incorporated. It covered not only the
East African region, but operated across Africa, connecting also to Europe
and India.
* The East African High Commission (EACH) is the coordinating body to deal with
a customs union, a common external tariff, currency and post- age; and also
with common services in transport and communications, research and education.
* Following independence, the East African High Commission is replaced by the
East African Common Services Organisation (EACSO), which many observers
thought would lead to a political federation between the three territories.
However, the new organisation suffered from a lack of joint planning and
fiscal policy, separate political policies and Kenya’s dominant economic
position.
* Signing of the ‘Treaty for East African Cooperation’ among Kenya, Uganda and
Tanzania.
* Dissolution of the first East African Community.
* The Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community was signed by

expansion of the bloc’s existing Customs Union.
* The East African Monetary Union (EAMU) is the third milestone of the EAC
integration process. The EAMU Protocol was signed on 30th November, 2013 and
set the groundwork for a monetary union within 10 years while allowing the
EAC Partner States to progressively converge their currencies into a single
currency in the Community.
* The Republic of South Sudan was admitted and became a full member of EAC on
5th September, 2016.
* On 20th May, 2017, the EAC Heads of State adopted the Political Confederation
as a transitional model of the East African Political Federation.
* The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), is admited to the EAC and becomes
a full member on 11 July, 2022.
* The Federal Republic of Somalia is admited to the EAC and aceedes to the EAC
Treaty on 15 December, 2023.
