Economic Community of Central African States ECCAS
ECCAS was established on 1983 by the UDEAC members and the members of the
Economic Community of the Great Lakes States (Burundi,
Rwanda and the then Zaire, Congo) as
well as Sao Tome and Principe. ECCAS has been inactive since 1992.

ECCAS has overlapping membership with CEMAC, the Central African Monetary Union, to which Chad, CAR, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome et Principe belong. On 24 January 2003, the European Union concluded a financial agreement with ECCAS and CEMAC, conditional on ECCAS and CEMAC merging into one organization, with ECCAS taking responsibility for the peace and security of the subregion.
Example:

ECCAS aims to promote regional economic co-operation and establish a Central
African Common Market. The crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a
divisive factor in CEEAC since Rwanda and Angola back opposing sides.
ECCAS has been designated a pillar of the African Economic Community (AEC) but
formal contact between the AEC and ECCAS has not yet been established due to the
latter’s inactivity since 1992. The other pillars are the
Economic Community of
West African States (ECOWAS),
Common Market for Eastern and Southern African
(COMESA), Southern African Development Community (SADC), and
Arab Maghreb Union
(AMU).
