The Roadmap for Somalia’s Integration into the East African Community provides a comprehensive strategy to facilitate Somalia’s smooth and effective entry into the EAC. It focuses on key areas such as policy harmonization, infrastructure development, capacity building, environmental sustainability, public health, peace and security, migration, and governance.
The East African Community Conference (EACON) played a crucial role in shaping this roadmap. The document outlines critical outcomes and resolutions, including the alignment of trade and investment policies, advancement of regional infrastructure projects, enhancement of education and workforce development, strengthening of healthcare systems, and fostering of security cooperation. Additionally, it highlights initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth, cross-border mobility, and social integration within the region.
To ensure a seamless integration process, the roadmap presents a structured action plan with immediate, short-term, and long-term steps. By implementing these strategies, Somalia aims to enhance economic opportunities, regional stability, and collaboration, reinforcing its role in the East African region.
