Eastern Africa Association
The Eastern Africa Association is the leading business organisation for corporations and investors in Eastern Africa. Our aim is to bring together companies active in the region, helping to promote and support long term, sustainable trade and investment. Founded almost 60 years ago, we draw on this experience to be an authoritative and invaluable source of information and guide to our members. We are a not-for-profit organisation, funded by members’ subscriptions, and are independent and entirely apolitical.
