It was signed on 30 November 1999 and entered into force on 7 July 2000 following its ratification by the original three Partner States – Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The Republic of Rwanda and the Republic of Burundi acceded to the EAC Treaty on 18 June 2007 and became full Members of the Community with effect from 1 July 2007.

The Federal Republic of Somalia became a full member upon depositing its instrument of ratification with the EAC Secretary-General on 4 March 2024.</p> <p>As one of the fastest-growing regional economic blocs in the world, the EAC is widening and deepening cooperation among the Partner States in various key spheres, including political, economic, and social, for their mutual benefit.</p> <p>The regional integration process is currently in full swing, as reflected by the encouraging progress of the East African Customs Union, the establishment of the Common Market in 2010, and the implementation of the East African Monetary Union Protocol.</p> <h3 style="color:#004099">Current status</h3> <p>The process towards an East African Federation is being fast-tracked, underscoring the
