One of the key objectives of the EUEAC CORE Program is to accelerate the implementation of the Protocol on the Free Movement of Services within the East African Community (EAC). By eliminating regulatory and administrative barriers, the program supports Partner States in creating a seamless regional market where service providers can operate across borders with greater ease and confidence. This includes harmonizing licensing requirements, streamlining service regulations, and strengthening mutual recognition of qualifications in key sectors like finance, ICT, tourism, and professional services.

Through targeted technical assistance, policy dialogue, and knowledge exchange, the program empowers regulators, policymakers, and industry players to build trust and alignment on standards and practices. By unlocking the full potential of service trade in the region, the initiative enhances competitiveness, attracts investment, and drives economic growth. Ultimately, the program champions a more integrated EAC where skilled professionals and businesses can freely offer their services, contribute to regional development, and access wider market opportunities.
