Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Intergovernmental Authority for Development on Monday adopted a new treaty that will see the agency fully operate under a set of rules like other regional economic communities.<\/p>\n

It replaces the agreement that gave birth to IGAD in 1996 effectively putting in place changes including its chairmanship which will now be predictable.<\/p>\n

The chairmanship will see member states assume office in alphabetical order, on a one-year rotational basis. The rotation will be done at the assembly summit every June 12.<\/p>\n

The treaty gives power and process to impose sanctions and established that every policy organ of IGAD has a defined number of meetings per calendar year.<\/p>\n

This includes quarterly, biannually and annually as applicable. Further, the treaty mandates to the council the power to resolve disputes through negotiation.<\/p>\n

The IGAD treaty will enter into force after at least two-thirds of the members have signed and ratified the documents. The 14th assembly marked the first IGAD summit since 2019.<\/p>\n
