Abstract :This study, which focuses on the comparison of the East African Community (EAC) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), seeks answer to the question of what are the critical points in the historical processes of these two organizations. While the EAC and ECOWAS, which have had problems in creating sustainable financial resources and taking rapid action throughout the historical period; -although the desired goals cannot be fully achieved-, have been effective in promoting economic growth, facilitating trade, improving living standards, enhancing infrastructure, and most importantly, strengthening regional cooperation, they have not found sufficient recognition in academic studies.Keywords : Entegrasyon, EAC, Afrika, ECOWAS, Bölge
