The Eastern Africa Association of Prosecutors (EAAP) held a 3-day workshop from 25th to 27th April 2023 in Nairobi for Focal Point Persons, representing the Executive Committee of the Association that sought to:

  1. Validate the Eastern Africa Wildlife Case Digest.

  2. Update the Draft EAAP Strategic Plan 2022-2026 to help the association achieve its vision and mission; as well as

  3.  Introduce the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) Eastern Africa Transnational Organized Crime (EATOC) Project.

 The Case Digest will contain high-profile wildlife cases being prosecuted and new critical laws being enacted and amended by various jurisdictions.

The IDLO EATOC Project will entail the development of Regional Policy Frameworks on Transnational Organised Crimes (TOC). The Project will also engage investigators, prosecutors & judicial officers in the region to increasingly coordinate their identification, prevention, and response to transnational organised crimes
