摘要

Regional integration is useful for economic,political and social development of countries.Despite the numerous efforts by developing countries to form regional trading blocs,existing Regional Economic Communities(RECs)in developing countries including Africa have not been successful achieving their intended objectives of poverty reduction and economic development.RECs are'building blocs'for African union,they are central for implementing the New Partnership for Africa's Development(NEPAD).In short,the RECs were and continue to be the glue that will cement a strong and vibrant African Unity.This paper looks into regional integration in developing countries,with particular focus on the revived East Africa Community(EAC).It looks at the interaction between economics,politics and society in the context of integration and asks if the mileage postulated by integration theory is feasible in East Africa.There is also an aspect of opening up of the region and linking it up with the East through the Belt and Road Initiative.
  It expounds the East African Community(EAC)which is one of the oldest Regional Economic Cooperation(RECs)in Africa in how it is seeking to achieve Sustainable Development Goals and the African Agenda2063.It refutes claims by critics led by the US who argue China is just using Africa to extract resources for its use but rather explains the win-win cooperation compounded with unity of purpose with an aim of seeking prosperity.It seeks to look at Sino-African relations but focusing on the implementation of ambitious Belt and Road in opening up the African continent,creating trading opportunities,easing the mode of doing business and fostering a culture of togetherness through connectedness and inclusivity.
  In the view of the contemporary global trend in which trade negotiations are increasingly being conducted under regional arrangements,and in order to benefit more from this integration,Partner States should strengthen their integration by ensuring among others full political commitment,good governance and by solving the problem of multiple membership facing them
  There is a focus also on how the Integration can serve as a benchmark for other developing countries to employ the strategies for a successful regional.
