About EAFLF
The East African First Ladies Forum (EAFLF) serves as a dedicated platform uniting the First Ladies of the EAC Member States, and potentially other African First Ladies in a collective spiritual endeavor for the continent. As the "Mothers of our Continent," their concerted efforts are pivotal in fostering healing, reconciliation, and enduring peace, thereby accelerating the path to unity and stability in Africa. This platform is exclusively for the First Ladies who are spouses of the EAC Heads of State, with most of its activities strategically occurring during the EAC Heads of State Summits as crucial sideline engagements. This unique focus allows the First Ladies to popularize the integration agenda among East Africans, emphasizing the indispensable voice of women in advancing peace and unity.
