Africa has long sought economic, political, and social integration as a means to foster development, peace, and stability. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the East African Community (EAC) stand out as prominent regional economic blocs committed to these goals. African integration is essential for economic growth, trade expansion, infrastructural development, and political stability. However, the integration process faces numerous challenges, including political instability, economic disparities, and infrastructural limitations. This paper explores the necessity of African integration through ECOWAS and EAC, examines the challenges impeding progress, and suggests solutions to facilitate successful regional integration.
