The East African Community Heads of State will meet in in Kampala this week for a crucial infrastructure and health financing retreat.
The retreat “themed “Deepening and widening regional integration through Infrastructure and Health Sector Development in the EAC Partner States” is scheduled for the 21st – 22nd February, 2018 at Speke Resort, Munyonyo.
It will be the fourth time the leaders are meeting to discuss infrastructure challenges in the region.
The last retreat took place in Nairobi in November 2014, with sideline meetings attracting over 400 participants, among them representatives of the African Development Bank Group, the World Bank, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and the European Union.
The summit endorsed a ten-year investment strategy for priority regional projects, and directed the Council of Ministers to mobilise resources for its implementation.
The meeting at Speke Resort Munyonyo is expected to receive a progress report regarding its implementation three years after.
