1 ex United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Executive Board Hundred and seventy-fifth session 175 EX/41 PARIS, 25 August 2006 Original: English/French Item 43 of the provisional agenda RELATIONS WITH THE EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY (EAC) AND DRAFT COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN UNESCO AND THAT ORGANIZATION SUMMARY In the context of strengthened cooperation with the African Regional Economic Communities (RECs), which are pillars of African Union programme implementation, the Organization expressed its desire to establish official relations with the East African Community (EAC). The Secretary-General of EAC has welcomed this initiative. In conformity with Article XI, paragraph 1, of the UNESCO Constitution, the Director-General of UNESCO therefore requests the Executive Board to authorize him to establish such relations through the signing of a cooperation agreement between the two organizations. To that end, he hereby submits to the Executive Board, for approval, a draft cooperation agreement (Annex II) that has already been approved by the Secretary-General of the East African Community (EAC). Decision proposed: paragraph The East African Community (EAC) and UNESCO have always maintained cooperation relations but these have not so far been formalized through an agreement. In a letter dated 20 July 2006, the Secretary-General of EAC transmitted to the UNESCO Secretariat a draft cooperation agreement between EAC and UNESCO. The Secretary-General of EAC met with the Director- General on 12 June 2006 at UNESCO Headquarters. 2. At its eighth summit, held on 1 and 2 July 2006 in Banjul, the African Union selected EAC as one of the principal regional economic communities responsible for implementing its programme. The other seven regional economic communities chosen for that purpose were: the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Economic Community of Central African

2 page 2 States (ECCAS), the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU). 3. EAC covers three countries of Eastern Africa: Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. EAC has made it a priority to establish an exchange and investment zone through the standardization of norms and the elimination of obstacles to the free circulation of goods, persons and capital. A brief note on the structure and organization of EAC is attached hereto (Annex I). 4. EAC belongs to the Forum of Regional and Subregional African Organizations in support of cooperation between UNESCO and NEPAD (FOSRASUN) created by the Director-General pursuant to the recommendations of the Ouagadougou seminar UNESCO-NEPAD from Vision to Action (5-7 March 2003), approved by the Executive Board at its 166th session (166 EX/Decision 4.1). The Forum is intended to provide a platform for dialogue and partnership between the Commission of the African Union, the RECs and UNESCO in order to promote among them concerted action to achieve the objectives of regional and subregional integration through education, science, culture and communication. 5. The cooperation agreement with EAC is a response in particular to the Forum s recommendation calling upon UNESCO and the RECs to facilitate policy-dialogue processes with a view to the signing of cooperation agreements for joint action. It is also in the spirit of the Executive Board decisions (164 EX/Decision 8.6, 166 EX/Decision 4.1 and 170 EX/Decision 4.1) on strengthening cooperation with the African institutions that are mainstays of NEPAD s programme implementation and of the regional integration process, and in the spirit of the United Nations General Assembly resolutions (A/RES/57/2, A/RES/57/7, A/RES/58/233, A/RES/59/254 and A/RES/60/222) on NEPAD. 6. In conformity with Article XI, paragraph 1, of the UNESCO Constitution, the Director- General submits to the Executive Board for examination and approval the draft cooperation agreement contained in Annex II. Proposed draft decision 7. In the light of the foregoing, the Executive Board may wish to adopt a decision along the following lines: The Executive Board, 1. Bearing in mind the provisions of Article XI, paragraph 1, of the UNESCO Constitution, 2. Having examined document 175 EX/41, 3. Noting with satisfaction the existing cooperation between the East African Community (EAC) and UNESCO, 4. Considering the desirability of establishing official relations between UNESCO and the East African Community (EAC), 5. Taking note of the fact that the Secretary-General of that organization has approved the text of the draft cooperation agreement;

4 Annex I ANNEX I Note on the East African Community Member States Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania Origins The East African Heads of State signed the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community in Arusha, on 30 November Prior to re-launching the East African Community in 1999, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda had enjoyed a long history of cooperation under successive regional integration arrangements.

Objectives The EAC headquarters are located in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania. The EAC aims at widening and deepening cooperation among the partner States in political, economic and social fields for their mutual benefit. To this purpose, EAC operates on the basis of a five-year development strategy. The EAC strategy emphasizes economic cooperation and development with a strong focus on the social dimension. The role of the private sector and civil society is considered as central and crucial to the regional integration and development in a veritable partnership with the public sector. Areas of Cooperation The regional cooperation and integration envisaged in the EAC is broad-based, covering trade, investments and industrial development; monetary and fiscal affairs; infrastructure and services; human resources; science and technology; agriculture and food security; environment and natural resource management; tourism and wildlife management; and health, social and cultural activities. Institutions of the EAC The Summit comprising of heads of government of partner States gives general direction towards the realization of the goal and objectives of the Community; The Council of Ministers is the main decision-making institution. It is made up of ministers from the partner States responsible for regional cooperation; Sectoral Committees conceptualize programmes and monitor their implementation. Council establishes the Committees on recommendation of the respective co-ordinating committee; The East African Court of Justice ensures that Community law is interpreted and implemented in line with the Treaty;

5 Annex I page 2 The East African Legislative Assembly provides a democratic forum for debate. It has a watchdog function and also plays a part in the legislative process; The Secretariat is the executive organ of the Community. As the guardian of the Treaty, it ensures that regulations and directives adopted by the Council are properly implemented.
