The findings of the research reveal that EAC has made a number of achievements which have directly or indirectly contributed to reducing of Hutu-Tutsi conflict in East Africa.

The study thus suggests that EAC needs to take its time and put its house in order before projecting the lofty idea of political federation as it is faced with challenges in implementing its policies on trade and commerce as well as socio-political fields. Challenges among others include establishment of common identity to reduce tension among the citizens of EAC in the region and establishment of custom union which could provide detailed policies to harmonize economic policies among EAC member states. This book concludes with making some valuable recommendations. The book recommends that EAC member states must seriously focus on implementing the policies and programmes it has initiated since its establishment.
