East Africa: Deepening regional integration

A meeting, jointly hosted and organized by the Center for Governance and Development (CGD) and the Development Policy Management Forum (DPMF) was held in Nairobi on the 4th of March 2004. The theme of the meeting was “Deepening Regional Integration For Democratization and Development Through Networking/Coalition Building in the East African Community (EAC)”. The meeting was organized under a project of the Ford Foundation's Special Initiative for Africa (SIA) that, through an earlier workshop, mandated the DPMF to develop a program for mobilizing CSOs and Research Institutions (RIs) to “promote regional cooperation for democratic governance and monitoring the African Peer Review Mechanism process”.
