This set of three stamps was a joint issue by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their independence. The designs feature maps of the respective countries, their national flags, and portraits of their leaders at the time: Jomo Kenyatta (Kenya), Idi Amin (Uganda), and Julius Nyerere (Tanzania). The stamps highlight the shared history and cooperation within the East African Community.

Issued in 1973, these stamps celebrate a decade since the three East African nations gained independence from British rule in the early 1960s. They represent a period of post-colonial nation-building and regional cooperation.
