Abstract

The first helpdesk query asked:

  • what is the link between regional economic integration and job creation in the East African Community (EAC)?
  • what is the status of labour mobility in East Africa, and how could it affect job creation?

The second helpdesk query asked:

  • what actions need to be taken from a regional perspective to support job creation?
  • is there an obvious plan of action to promote job creation from a regional perspective, or does more work need to be done to develop such a plan?
