Background
EACO
was established to strengthen and promote cooperation in the development and provision of postal, telecommunications and broadcasting services in the East
African Community. It was constituted by the five East African countries with the objective to harmonise policy and regulatory frameworks in the region; promote the development of broadcasting, postal and telecommunications/ICT services and regulatory matters;
and devise ways and means to achieve fast, reliable, secure, affordable and efficient communications services within the Community.
Members of EACO comprise of National Regulatory Agencies and ICT operators in their respective jurisdictions within the East African countries. These include telecommunications, internet, postal, broadcasting,
among other ICT service providers.
The EACO Secretariat is hosted by the Republic of Rwanda, under the auspice of the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority.
The exhibition will present a new opportunity for EACO member organisations and the ICT sector as a whole in the East African region to show case the socio-economic
benefits that the sector presents to the citizens in our region. The exhibition is meant to highlight the reach and role of ICT’s as well as best practices in various aspects of life ranging from health, education, economic activities, and other developmental
opportunities.
