    2nd EAC Regional Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan of Action 2017–2027:
    (EAC Secretariat, 2018) East African Community
    There is abundant interest on the part of the EAC Partner States in promoting their pharmaceutical industry. The first EAC Regional Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan of Action (EAC-RPMPOA): 2012–2016 provided the framework upon which regional and national strategies were aligned in an effort to strengthen the sector. While the implementation of the first plan has achieved several key milestones and contributed to the positive development of the sector, there is need for continuation and further improvement. The current plan (EAC-RPMPOA: 2017–2027) has been developed to build on the achievements and to set out new strategic approaches to surmount the challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities within the sector. Key findings from this report show that while EAC pharmaceutical markets are growing rapidly, there is still a high dependency on imported pharmaceutical products and local firms are producing below capacity. Local manufacturers are strongly present in the anti-infectives product category but they miss out in immunological and cardiovascular markets, which have a large market share in the region. Even though locally produced medicines cover 66% of disease conditions, the region lacks the capacity to manufacture advanced formulations. This is attributable to a skills gap in the areas of product development and formulation expertise. Furthermore, there is a lack of appropriate and affordable financing for the sector, with options being limited to short-term loans with high interest rates. From the trade perspective, enhanced cooperation and harmonisation would reduce regulatory barriers and broaden export markets.

    4th EAC development strategy:
    (East African Community, 2011-08) East African Community
    The The East African Community (EAC) is a regional inter governmental organization established under Article 2 of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community that entered into force in July 2000. The membership of the Community comprises the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. As stated under Article 5 (2) of the Treaty, “the Partner States undertake to establish among themselves and in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty, a Customs Union, a Common Market, subsequently a Monetary Union and ultimately a Political Federation in order to strengthen and regulate the industrial, commercial, infrastructural, cultural, social, political and other relations of the Partner States to the end that there shall be accelerated, harmonious and balanced development and sustained expansion of economic activities, the benefit of which shall be equitably shared.” The Community has made significant progress during the last 10 years of integration. In particular, there is a much desired shift from the initial negative mind-set and little excitement on the integration process to strong political will that has catalysed business confidence and improved people’s awareness about the benefits and costs of integration. The Customs Union in particular catalyzed remarkable trade expansion. Intra-EAC trade grew by 40% between 2005 and 2009. Uganda’s exports to Kenya increased more than tenfold from USD15.5 Million in 2004 to USD172 Million in 2009, while Tanzania’s exports to Kenya over the same period nearly tripled , from USD 95.5 Million to USD 300 Million. This pattern is expected to be enhanced with the Common Market which came into force in July 2010. This increased trade and investment among the EAC Partner States has broadened prospects for economic growth and development.

    6th EAC Development Strategy 2021/22 - 2025/26
    (EAC Secretariat, 2021-11) East African Community
    The 5th EAC Development Strategy was the first of the series implementing EAC Vision 2050. According to Vision 2050, the period 2015-2030 is to focus on consolidation and transformation of the regional economy by providing the environment and incentives to make EAC a production-oriented region; addressing constraints that are known to create disincentives for integrated joint development for transformation in the region. Consequently, the programming focus for the 6th EAC Development Strategy (2021/22-2025/26) remains infrastructure development, human capital for long term skills development, consolidation of the EAC Common Market, funding of regional initiatives, strengthening the financing and banking systems, expanding savings and investment, Research & Development (R&D) and security and governance.The Strategy will also consider the region’s Medium Term strategic responses to contain the devastating effects of COVID 19. Further, to maximise on the synergies across the region, Partner States Medium Term Plans (MTPs) will also integrate regional priority interventions. Additionally, the Strategy will consider the critical priorities in AU 2063 Agenda, SDG 2030, and the trade agreements EAC has entered into as a region.

    Aflatoxins:
    (East African Community, 2018-04) East African Community
    In the EAC Region, food crops and their products that are produced, consumed or traded in large quantities with high degree of susceptibility to aflatoxin include maize, groundnuts, cashew, and sesame. The potential economic and trade-related impacts of aflatoxin contaminated products in domestic and international markets can be significant. The contribution of market losses to the total economic impact depends on the extent to which the domestic market differentiates aflatoxin-contaminated products. If the domestic market does not differentiate aflatoxin-contaminated products, the market losses from the contamination will be minimal. Among EAC Partner States, in Kenya, the awareness about aflatoxins is high, signaling that domestic market impact will be higher than in other countries.

    Agriculture and food security programmes
    (East African Community, 2020) East African Community
    The economies and livelihoods of citizens in East Africa are predominantly dependent on agriculture. The sector accounts for 25%-40% of EAC Partner States (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Republic of South Sudan) Gross Domestic Product and is a leading employer for over 80 percent of the population in the region. More than 70% of the industries in the EAC are agro-based and depend on agriculture as the main source of raw materials. Agricultural commodities constitute about 65% of the volume of intra-regional trade in the EAC.

    Best practice guide for mutual recognition procedures for the registration of veterinary medicinal product(s) in the East African region
    (East African Community, 2021) East African Community
    Following the adoption of the Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) by the East African Community (EAC) and subsequent constitution of the EAC-Technical Working Group and the Coordination Group for Mutual Recognition (CGMR), a new Mutual Recognition Procedure has been created. If an applicant wishes to have a Marketing Authorization (MA) granted in more than one Partner State, then the Applicant will have to use a Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP). Two types of MRP are possible. One is where an Applicant already holds a Marketing authorization in one or more Partner States and wishes to have this recognized in other Partner States. The second type is where an Applicant applies for Marketing Authorizations for a new product in several Partner States simultaneously
