Stephen Mbundi, held a meeting with the World Bank Vice President for Eastern and Southern Africa, Mr Ndiamé Diop, on the sidelines of the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, to strengthen the EAC–World Bank partnership and advance regional development priorities.
🔹Discussions focused on sustaining ongoing collaboration in statistical harmonisation, digital development, skills development and job creation, while exploring new opportunities in trade, environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

Reliable cause-of-death statistics help identify preventable deaths, guide health spending and target services where they are needed most.
The @jumuiya and @WHOAFRO are strengthening Rwanda’s capacity in medical certification of cause of death Coding using the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11), data analysis and quality assessment through training in Kigali from 22–26 September 2026.

The EAC is set to officially launch the national consultations in the Republic of South Sudan on the drafting of the Constitution of the EAC Political Confederation.
🔹The consultations provide an opportunity for citizens and stakeholders to share their views on how the Political Confederation should be structured, governed and how it can best serve the people of East Africa.
📍 Consultations will be held in Juba, Wau, Rumbek and Bor from 24 September to 7 October 2026.
☘️ The Political Confederation is a transitional model towards the ultimate goal of a Political Federation of the EAC and is intended to provide a framework for deeper political cooperation, coordination and governance among EAC Partner States.
