The East African Development Bank (EADB) is a development finance institution with the objective of promoting development in the member countries of the East African Community. [2]

Contents

Overview

EADB plays a threefold role of lender, adviser, and development partner. The bank provides a range of products and services that are tailored for the region's development requirements. The bank has experience, financial backing, staff, and a knowledge of the region's financial requirements. As of December 2017, the institution's total assets were valued at approximately US$390.411 million, with shareholders' equity of approximately US$261.36 million. [1]

History

EADB was established in 1967 under the treaty of the then East African Cooperation between Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Following the breakup of the first East African Community (EAC) in 1977, the bank was re-established under its own charter in 1980. In 2008, following the admission of Burundi and Rwanda into the new EAC, Rwanda applied and was admitted into the EADB. [3] Under the new charter, the bank's role and mandate were reviewed, and its operational scope expanded. Under its expanded operational scope, the bank offers a broad range of financial services in the member states. Its main objective is to strengthen socio-economic development and regional integration. [4]
