Guidelines issued for East African integration

The Arusha-based Secretariat of the Commission for East African Cooperation has issued a strategy document laying out the necessary steps for establishing a single market and investment area for Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Executive Secretary Francis Muthaura describes the publication as "the guiding policy in the process of East African cooperation." According to the blueprint, the three countries would begin by harmonizing their investment codes and facilitating intra-regional trade and investment, move to the inauguration of an East African stock exchange, and, among other measures, ultimately establish a single regional currency.
