href="/eac-history/60-about-eac">About EAC</a> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In the past, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have enjoyed a long history of co-operation under successive regional integration arrangements.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">These arrangements have included:</p> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>the Customs Union between Kenya and Uganda in 1917, which the then Tanganyika later joined in 1927;</li> <li>the East African High Commission (1948-1961);</li> <li>the East African Common Services Organisation (1961-1967);</li> <li>the East African Community (1967-1977) and</li> <li>the East African Co-operation (1993-2000).</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;">Following the dissolution of the former East African Community in 1977, the Member States negotiated a Mediation Agreement for the pision of Assets and Liabilities, which they signed in 1984.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">However, as one of the provisions of the Mediation Agreement, the three Member States (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) agreed to explore areas of future co-operation and to make concrete arrangements for such co-operation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Subsequent meetings of the three Heads of State led to the signing of the Agreement for the Establishment of the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation on 30 November 1993.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Full East African Co-operation operations started on 14 March 1996 when the Secretariat of the Permanent Tripartite Commission was launched at the Headquarters of the EAC in Arusha, Tanzania.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Considering the need to consolidate regional co-operation, the East African Heads of State, at their 2nd Summit in Arusha on 29 April 1997, directed the Permanent Tripartite Commission to start the process of upgrading the Agreement establishing the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation into a Treaty.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Treaty-making process, which involved negotiations among the Member States as well as wide participation of the public, was successfully concluded within 3 years.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community was signed in Arusha on 30 November 1999.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Treaty entered into force on 7 July 2000 following the conclusion of the process of its ratification and deposit of the Instruments of Ratification with the Secretary-General by all the three Partner States.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Upon the entry into force of the Treaty, the East African Community came into being.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Milestones
