Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented global health and economic
crises. National and international measures, including social and economic
lockdowns, and suspension/ban of international passenger travel to control
its spread have led to a breakdown of cross-border trade and value chains at
national, regional and global levels. In its wake, the East African Community
(EAC) and other countries must identify and implement measures to rebuild
their economies for prosperity in a new normal world setting post-COVID-19
