Kurbanov R.A. Intergovernmental Authority on Development as an integration organization of the East African region

Abstract: Integration processes at present stage of development has swept entire world. African continent is not an exception; there is a significant number of regional organizations, many of which have existed for decades, and African states are often members of several organizations. This article is devoted to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and the history of its creation; functioning; institutional framework; regulations developed within it; and the impact that it has upon national law of member-states of the organization. Special attention is given to the integration role that can be played by this organization. The article explores specific projects undertaken within the framework of cooperation of the member-states on the platform of this organization. IGAD is still at the level of coordination and harmonization among the member-states and has yet to reach the stage of integration in the form of, for example, a free trade zone. The author also emphasizes the complexity of the work of the organization associated with the duplication of projects in the region due to the overlapping duties of the two regional organizations of IGAD and COMESA.
