- Nóta The East African Community (EAC), comprising Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, emerged from Anglophone East Africa as an apparently natural consequence of the colonial period, much as the various unions of Francophone West Africa had done. The EAC was established on 6 June 1967. Its main objective was to strengthen the economic, industrial, and trade ties between its three members. The treaty that established the community laid down that there should be a common excise tariff and no internal tariffs; it also established an East African Development Bank (EADB). The main organs of the EAC were: the Common Market Council; the Common Market Tribunal; the Secretariat; and the East African Authority, which was composed of the three heads of state and would act as the ultimate EAC authority. Other provisions of the treaty covered the establishment of five councils and an East African Legislative Assembly; a General Fund; the East African Railways Corporation; the East African Harbours Corporation; the East African Posts and Telecommunications Corporation; and the East African Airways Corporation. EAC headquarters were in Arusha, Tanzania, the railways at Nairobi, harbours in Dar es Salaam, and posts and telecommunications in Kampala.
