2 - Result Based Monitoring Evaluation Plan
EAAACA developed a Result Based Monitoring, Evaluation and Risk Management Plan, Sustain- ability measures. It is a management tool that tracks the results of projects / programs of the Association
3 - EAAACA Strategic Plan 2019-2023
EAAACA Strategic Plan 2019-2023 comes at a time when corruption in Eastern Africa is perceived to be high irrespective of the anti-corruption initiatives put in place resulting into diverse political, social, economic and environmental costs to societies. Our Strategic Plan is ambitious. It defines how we will combat corruption within a challenging and changing environment through regional cooperation. The plan has been devised with the involvement and support of EAAACA / ARINEA members through an extensive consultative process that has also engaged the external stakeholders and influencers.

6 - Report on the Harmonization of Anti-Corruption laws
Report on the Harmonization of Anti-Corruption Laws for Member States of the East African Community (EAC), 2014: a comparative analysis of what each country has done towards implementing the requirements under the regional and international anti-corruption instruments was undertaken, and any good practice employed by the particular member state or states is documented.
External achievements
1 - Regional Training Programmes
Several regional training programmes have been conducted since inception that resulted in improved skills in asset recovery, crime detection and investigations, whistle blower and witness protection, among other things.
The capacity building activities are conducted in member countries on a rotational basis
2 - Birth of ARIN-EA
EAAACA led to the birth of ARINEA at its 7th AGM in Kigali Rwanda. ARIN-EA’s objective is to provide an informal network in the Eastern Africa region for the exchange of information that will lead to the recovery of assets acquired through crime. Stolen assets are often transferred to foreign jurisdictions, making the process of asset recovery even more complex and time consuming. ARIN-EA also works with other regional networks in asset recovery initiatives which focuses on all proceeds of crime and not just the proceeds of corruption.
