East African Community 10th Anniversary

Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania · 1973 · 30c, 50c, 1/50, 2/50

This set of three stamps commemorates the 10th anniversary of the East African Community (EAC). The designs feature symbolic imagery, including the flags of the member nations (Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania), a map of the region, and the EAC emblem. The stamps represent the shared goals of economic and political cooperation between the three countries.

Issued in 1973, these stamps mark a decade of the East African Community, an intergovernmental organization established in 1967. The EAC aimed to strengthen ties through a common market, customs union, and shared public services, though it would dissolve just a few years later in 1977 before being revived in 2000.
