About This Sector
We work to strengthen democratic governance, rule of law, human rights, and anti-corruption frameworks across the EAC region. Our governance work spans institutional strengthening, policy harmonization, accountability systems, and citizen engagement mechanisms aligned with the EAC Protocol on Good Governance.
The Challenge
Regional integration frameworks often remain disconnected from citizen realities. Institutions struggle to translate high-level commitments into localized action, while citizens lack meaningful channels to participate in governance processes that affect their lives.
