Supporting integration of professional services in EAC

The East African Community aims to create a single market for qualified professionals across the region. We have worked with the competent authorities for East African engineers, accountants and architects to retool their existing agreements to fit the EAC model and trained their boards and key staff members in complying with the obligations that flow from these agreements. We have supported the development of a veterinary services MRA with a detailed sector study, training for national negotiators and the facilitation of various rounds of negotiations culminating in the signature of the agreement in April 2016. We continue to provide expert advice and training on the proposed draft MRA for East African lawyers and on the EAC single market in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
