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