East African Community vision 2050: regional vision for socio-economic transformation and development

Abstract

The EAC Vision 2050 articulates the dreams and aspirations of the East African peoples and makes a commitment to what they will do to achieve these dreams. It follows closely on the development of the African Union Agenda 2063 which articulates the aspiration of all the people of the African continent. The EAC Vision is timely, as it comes at a time of change in both the global and continental environment with the conclusion of the MDGs and other major global goals and the taking up of new goals such as the Sustainable development Goals which were approved by the United Nations General Assembly this month (September 2015).
