Information and communication technology is an opportunity for young individuals to grow businesses. Young professionals need to investigate in small and medium-sized enterprises and should not only expect to get jobs elsewhere. The issue is that young professionals in the East African community cannot compete with each other when their mindset on doing business through small and medium-sized enterprises are taken differently and the levels of economic of these countries are very different. This article is motivated by the researcher’s observation analysis about young professionals in the East Africa community who know information and communication technologies, and unfortunately, they use them in a way that cannot make small and medium-sized enterprises successful. The main goal of this study is to describe information and communication technologies as an opportunity to buy or sell goods or services through small and medium-sized enterprises. This study will provide a better understanding to the lecturer, especially young professionals to take information and communication technologies positively as an opportunity to grow business through small and medium-sized enterprises and to know the strategy to use to sell products and how to manage consumer’s behavior through their needs. Young professionals need to build business skills and linkages with local and international businesses by exchanging business ideas and information via information and communication technologies.

Common Policy

One of the definitions states that regionalism means a common policy or project aimed at increasing informal links and economic, political and social transactions which strengthen integration processes, intensify intergovernmental cooperation and create regional identity among the community. According to the above, it was assumed that firstly, states in a group are stronger and more effective and secondly, that regionalism and regionalization may be regarded as a way to solve some regional problems and to contribute to the development of individual states. This narrative became especially attractive for underdeveloped and dysfunctional regions as it offered an opportunity for changes. As a result, a quantitative increase in regional initiatives started. The article is dedicated to the integration processes in the East Africa region. The main aim of the paper is to examine the situation in East Africa, regarding the role that the East African Community has played in this area. Moreover, an attempt has been made to analyze the integration model adopted by the organization and find out if the EAC is able to solve the main regional problems or rather to propose a failed solution and maintain dysfunctional patterns in the organization.

The One

The notion of a cashless society is slowly becoming an inevitability of the modern way of doing business. Withdrawal of cash from use is the result of wide application of information and communication technologies. Increasing digitalization has contributed to the fact that most transactions are performed via smart devices (phones, tablets, desktops), without the use of cash and without going to the bank. The development of technological innovations, as well as innovations in finance, has undoubtedly contributed to increasing efficiency in business, but the question is whether the increasing digitalization of life and business, which is reflected in the creation of a cashless society, is still so desirable for humanity. The paper focuses on the socio-economic aspects of withdrawing cash from use. On the one hand, states are given the opportunity to influence economic activities even more directly through their central banks, while on the other hand, the issue is raised concerning human freedoms and rights in the digital world, in which it will be possible to electronically control the entire business.

Step Down

Significance Opposition parties reject the new dates, stating that their main demand is for Nkurunziza to step down before polls take place. The new dates adhere to East African Community (EAC) recommendations to delay elections. While the regional bloc may have more influence over Burundi than other external players, it will struggle to play an effective diplomatic role in ending the political crisis. Impacts A prolonged crisis will worsen a poorly performing economy, which is heavily dependent on foreign support. Belgium, the largest donor, may cut further bilateral support should Nkurunziza secure a third mandate. Economic disruption continues to hurt agricultural supply chains across the country, risking food security.

The subject of the study was the East African Commonwealth, an economic association that currently unites Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Southern Sudan. Particular attention is paid to the integration processes in Africa in the post-colonial period, the doctrine of federalism in the political discourse of African countries, the causes of the crisis and the dissolution of the EAC in the seventies of the last century, as well as the economic and political reasons for reintegration of YOU. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the EAC from an economic alliance to a political one and the prospect of forming a federative state on the basis of the SAC. The author identifies the factors that led to the economic consolidation of the EAC, as well as those determinants of development of the commonwealth, which make it extremely difficult to form a unified federal state in East Africa. It is concluded that the further regionalization of the African continent and the realization of the federal project in East Africa will be hindered by such factors as the high level of conflict in the EAC member countries, tribalism, cultural, confessional and linguistic heterogeneity, and the ambition of leaders and political elites.

A plethora of herding communities – the Bedouin of the Middle East and North Africa, the Maasai of East Africa, the Mongolians of Central Asia, and the Sámi of Northern Europe – are using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to form new methods of communicating, utilizing public services, and engaging in protest. This chapter discusses the field and archival research conducted for this text, introduces each of the chapters, and provides a detailed analysis of the terms (such as “herder” and “pastoral nomad”) used in the text.
