The proposed EAC AI Strategy is designed to complement the EAC Digital Transformation agenda and aligns with key frameworks including the African Union Continental AI Strategy (2024), EAC Vision 2050, the EAC STI Policy, and the Sustainable Development Goals. The expected outcome is a stakeholder-endorsed and regionally owned AI Strategy, complete with a clear implementation roadmap, that will be submitted to the relevant Sectoral Council for formal adoption. This process marks an important transitionโ€”from technical drafting to collective regional ownershipโ€”and reinforces our commitment to positioning East Africa as a coordinated, forward-looking, and globally competitive player in the AI ecosystem.

The EAC celebrates Hon. Veronica M. Nduva, @SGNduva the 7th Secretary General. She was the first woman to hold the office and the youngest in the history of the Community. Hon. Nduva assumed office at a delicate time when the EAC was facing institutional turbulence. In just 22 months, her tenure delivered organisational stabilisation, rebuilt confidence and repositioned the EAC as a people-centred Community. Warm wishes! @EA_Bunge @EACJCourt @EAC_LVBC @EACCASSOA @iucea_info @Eakc_kiswahili @EastGovernments @EAC_yap @EAYNOfficial

Earlier today, Fellows of the EAC Youth Fellowship โ€“ Cohort 3 paid a familiarization visit to the EAC Headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania. During the visit, the Fellows held an engaging meeting with leadership representatives, gaining deeper insight into the workings of the institution and its mandate in driving regional integration across East Africa. The discussions highlighted the role of the Secretariat in coordinating policies, programs and partnerships that shape the regionโ€™s development agenda. But also the organs, institutions and frameworks of the EAC. The visit also provided an opportunity for Fellows to connect their learning to real institutional frameworks, understanding how youth leadership can actively contribute to strengthening regional cooperation. This engagement is especially significant as the Fellowship is organized in partnership with @jumuiya reinforcing a shared commitment to nurturing young leaders who will shape the future of the region.
