Building a People-Centred East African Integration

The East African Civil Society Organizations Forum (EACSOF) brings together civil society organizations across East Africa to strengthen collaboration, promote inclusive policy engagement and contribute to a people-centred East African integration process.

We work to ensure that citizens and civil society perspectives are meaningfully reflected in regional processes and policy discussions.

Who We Are

Civil Society at the Heart of East African Integration

Regional integration is more than cooperation between governments. It is a process that affects the lives, opportunities and rights of citizens, communities, businesses and civil society across East Africa.

EACSOF provides a regional platform through which civil society organizations can share knowledge, build partnerships, engage in policy dialogue and contribute to discussions shaping the future of East African integration.
