EAC Secretariat enhances
awareness on regional integration at Tumaini University Makumira (TUMa)
and launches an EAC Youth Club at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha
(IAA)
East African Community Secretariat, Arusha, 1 June, 2015:
In its effort to take the integration agenda closer to the students' community in Arusha, the Headquarters of the Community, the
EAC Secretariat participated in the 'Youth to Cooperate World
Forum' held at TUMa over the weekend. This event gave the Community a
firm platform to engage and interest students in advocating for regional
integration initiatives.
The Forum brought together over 1,000
university students from six different universities in Arusha. Apart
from the Community's outreach, students were also stimulated on
insightful topics on education, self-leadership, soft
skills and business development techniques, all of which to prepare
them for life after graduation.
"By involving the youth in regional
integration, we will not only be increasing their capacity on the
(integration) process, but will also be providing the East African
region with a pool of competent and talented young men and
women equipped to carry out the work of the Community," said Mr. Owora Richard Othieno, Head of EAC Corporate Communications and Public Affairs. "We're looking forward to establishing more Youth Clubs around the country and to working closely
with other higher institutions in order to reach our goals," he said.
As a way of pushing the integration agenda
even further, the EAC, together with joint efforts from the EAC Youth
Ambassador to Tanzania and
Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA) faculty members, launched an EAC Youth Club at IAA campus also over the weekend.
Bringing together over 100 students to
this memorable event, the newly established Club will provide students
with a caring and supportive environment for access and inclusion to
regional sensitization and educational activities
on the EAC.
