The East African Community (EAC) is a grouping that has its roots in colonial-era connections between what are now Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. It now also includes Burundi and Rwanda.

Concern with optimal regional integration in the EAC has influenced Uganda's decision to raise the status of Swahili in its language policy.
