PACT EAC project
 In
the next decades, the food security
situation in the EAC is expected to
further aggravate as climate change

action and adaptation of sound policies
harnessing the potential role of trade
is a must. Over the next three years,
CUTS International Geneva and its
partners throughout the region will
contribute to this process through a
project entitled “Promoting
Agriculture-Climate-Trade linkages in
the Eastern African Community” (PACT EAC).
