The Need for EAC Integration
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has emphasized the need for the East African Community (EAC) integration, stating that it is crucial for the development and prosperity of the region. In a recent address, the President highlighted the importance of integration for East Africans, particularly the youth, to understand why it is essential for the growth and stability of the region.

Furthermore, the President emphasized the need for unity among East African countries in order to build a strong and competitive market. He highlighted the potential benefits of a unified market, including increased trade opportunities, job creation, and improved living standards for the people of the region.
South Sudan Assumes Chairmanship
As South Sudan assumes the chairmanship of the East African Community, President Museveni’s call for integration has taken on added significance. With the support of all member states, South Sudan has the opportunity to lead efforts towards greater cooperation and collaboration within the region.
By prioritizing EAC integration, South Sudan can work towards creating a more cohesive and interconnected East African market that will benefit all member states. Through joint efforts and initiatives, the EAC can overcome challenges and pave the way for sustainable development and prosperity in the region.
