EABC was founded in 1997 as an apex body of business associations in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. EABC is a success story in terms of its lobby achievements, membership growth, region-wide recognition and media attention. In its first years EABC was a “one man show” with a tiny office, small budget and only 19 members. Today, EABC has 131 members. Since 2007, EABC has expanded to the new EAC member states, Rwanda and Burundi, with current members in these two states totaling 15.

EABC is engaged in several lobby campaigns, e.g. on Customs Union and Common Market. In 2008 EABC has hosted eight major events. Also in 2008 EABC Board met with all EAC heads of states, either individually or collectively during EAC summits. EABC has been reported in the media across East Africa over a hundred times in 2008.
