The flag of the East African Community is a blue background with a thin yellow stripe fimbriated in green, overtop two thin stripes of black and red, fimbriated in white, with the emblem of the EAC in the center of the stripes.

Emblem[]

The emblem features a map of Lake Victoria with the member states of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda around it. This is surrounded by an industrial wheel with a leave arch on either side with the letters 'EAC' at the top. At the bottom of the emblem is a pictogram of a handshake. Below this is written in Kiswahili as "Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki", which translates to 'East African Community'.

Symbolism[]

The blue represents Lake Victoria, signifying the unity of the EAC Partner States. The white, black, green, yellow, and red stripes represents the different colors of the flags of each of the EAC Partner States, and the handshake represents the East African Community.
