abstract
| - Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have had a history of co-operation dating back to the early 20th century, including the customs union between Kenya and Uganda in 1917, which the then Tanganyika joined in 1927, the East African High Commission (1948–1961), the East African Common Services Organisation (1961–1967) and the East African Community (1967–1977). Inter-territorial co-operation between the Kenya Colony, the Uganda Protectorate and the |Tanganyika Territory was first formalised in 1948 by the East African High Commission. This provided a customs union, a common external tariff, currency and postage; and also dealt with common services in transport and communications, research and education. Following independence, these integrated activities were reconstituted and the High Commission was replaced by the East African Common Services Organisation, which many observers thought would lead to a political federation between the three territories. The new organisation ran into difficulties because of the lack of joint planning and fiscal policy, separate political policies and Kenya's dominant economic position. In 1967 the East African Common Services Organisation was superseded by the East African Community. This body aimed to strengthen the ties between the members through a common market, a common customs tariff and a range of public services so as to achieve balanced economic growth within the region. A customs union was signed in March 2004 which commenced on January 1, 2005; Kenya, the region's largest exporter, continued to pay duties on goods entering the other four countries on a declining scale until 2010. A common system of tariffs was applied to goods imported from third-party countries. On June 28, 2010, the countries formed a complete federation, with the Community government as the new national government. The former member countries became states of the new nation.
