ARUSHA
East African countries could soon have one communication platform on matters to do with regional integration.
Ministries
of East African Community (EAC) affairs, the Arusha-based secretariat
and organs and institutions of the Community will streamline their
communication channels for better information on regional matters.
The
move was agreed during the fourth EAC Communication Policy and Strategy
Forum early this week, where joint communication and sensitisation
strategies and activities were raised.
The two-day
forum brought together communication experts from the partner states,
EAC organs and institutions and a raft of affiliate organisations.
They
included the East African Business Council, the East African Law
Society, Centre for Constitutional Development, East African Local
Governments Association and the East African Civil Society Forum.
“Ministries
and institutions have a critical role to play in implementing the
communication policy and strategy,” said Mr Owora Richard Othieno, who
heads the EAC Department of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs.
