Author

  • Fa, Fabien

Abstract

The Treaty's goals are to create an African single market through the unification of numerous regional economic groups, and it became legally binding in 1994. The East African Community (EAC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD), the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development are the eight RECs that the African Union recognises.
