Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the East African Community (EAC), providing livelihoods to millions and serving as a key contributor to the regional economy. However, the sector faces numerous challenges, including the impact of global crises on food security. 

To address these challenges and chart a path toward a food-secure EAC region, the East African Business Council (EABC) in partnership with GIZ -Sequa gGmbH under the Business Scouts Fund is organizing a High-Level e-Conference on Building a Resilient Agricultural Sector for a Food-Secure EAC Region.
