The East African Community (EAC) is thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for women and youth-led Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) across its eight partner states. This Hackathon is a unique platform to drive regional economic integration by fostering creativity, innovation, and collaboration. If you’re passionate about creating transformative projects, this hackathon provides the perfect stage to bring your ideas to life.

Focused on vital sectors like tourism, agriculture, finance, ICT, logistics, and environmental management, the hackathon invites participants to devise and refine solutions that address critical barriers to regional service trade. Through collaborative efforts, participants will have the chance to design actionable, scalable projects that enhance cross-border service flows, promote economic cooperation, and drive inclusive growth across East Africa.

The hackathon is more than just a competition, it’s a comprehensive learning experience. Participants will receive mentorship, access to essential tools, and networking opportunities to help turn their ideas into sustainable ventures. By joining, women and youth will gain valuable insights and support that can help make a lasting impact on the EAC’s broader economic and social development goals.

This initiative highlights the power of regional collaboration in tackling shared challenges. It recognizes the immense potential of East Africa’s women and youth to shape the future of the region, driving it toward growth and prosperity.
