#EASF

EAC Chairperson President Yoweri Museveni has pledged to lobby regional leaders to revive the long-delayed Eastern Africa Standby Force (EASF) Summit and mobilize sustainable funding to strengthen rapid deployment and humanitarian crisis capabilities across East Africa.

Uganda has committed its military search and air rescue capabilities to the Eastern Africa Standby Force, filling a critical strategic gap in regional peacekeeping, emergency crisis response, and disaster management.
