EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY UNDER THE EAC STATISTICS DEVELOPMENT AND HARMONIZATION REGIONAL PROJECT
The East African Community (EAC) is the regional inter-governmental
organisation of the 6 Partner States, namely the Republics of Burundi,
Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, the United Republic of Tanzania, and the
Republic of Uganda, with its headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania. The EAC
mission is to widen and deepen economic, political, social and cultural
integration to improve the quality of life of the people of East Africa
through increased competitiveness, value added production, trade and
investments.
To achieve these objectives, the key building blocks are the Customs Union, Common Market, Monetary Union and ultimately the Political Federation. The EAC started a fully-fledged Customs Union in January, 2010 and implementation of the Common Market in July, 2010 while the East African Monetary Union Protocol (EAMU) was signed in November 2013 and is under implementation.

The EAMU Protocol, among others, requires the Partner States to
develop and adopt common methods, concepts, definitions and
classifications for compiling, analysing and disseminating the
statistics necessary for the proper functioning of the Monetary Union,
while observing internationally accepted best practices. To support
implementation of this requirement, the EAC Secretariat has secured a
grant from the World Bank to implement a 5-year Project, the EAC
Statistics Development and Harmonization Regional Project (EAC/Stat-DHRP).
The objective of this project is to develop the statistical capacity of
the EAC Statistics Department and the National Statistical Offices
(NSOs) to produce harmonized and quality statistics necessary for
planning, implementing, and monitoring the EAC integration agenda.
The Secretariat therefore invites applications from highly motivated
and result-driven professionals who are citizens of EAC Partner States
to apply for the project position tenable at the EAC Secretariat
