Abstract

The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) treaty was signed by member states of the Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern Africa in November 1993. The Council monitors COMESA activities, including supervision of the Secretariat, recommends policy direction and development, and reports to the Authority. In March 2009 a Regional Association of Energy Regulators for Eastern and Southern Africa was initiated; this comprised 13 full member states by 2021. An Eastern Africa Power Pool has been established by COMESA, comprising Burundi, the DRC, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, as well as Libya and Tanzania. In January 2003 the Association of Regulators of Information and Communication for Eastern and Southern Africa was launched, under the auspices of COMESA. A COVID-19 Regional Food and Nutrition Security Response Plan was formulated by the COMESA Secretariat in 2020, with the aim of improving regional agricultural productivity, access to markets, and trade in agri-food commodities.
