Establishment and Function of IGAD Based on One of the regional integration Theories
Conclusions The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in Eastern Africa was created in 1996 to supersede the Intergovernmental Authority on Drought and Development (IGADD) which was founded in 1986 to mitigate the effects of the recurring severe droughts and other natural disasters that resulted in widespread famine, ecological degradation and economic hardship in the region. Using the theory the paper argues that since the decisions and activities of IGAD are still being controlled by member states liberal inter-governmental remains the suitable framework for analysis. The IGAD the community achieved success at a number of specific sectors, but still the regional integration efforts in the IGAD region have been weak due to many challenges confronting member countries.
