Abstract
This research report is about Regional Economic integration and its relevance to
Industrial growth. The problem identified was that despite the renewed talks on reviving
the East African trade bloc, firms have continued to operate within nation boundaries and
have therefore not enjoyed to the optimal level, the benefits affiliated to mass production.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the role that REI has played towards the growth
of industries in East Africa and the world at large.
The research used analytical and exploratory research designs purposely to obtain
qualitative data. Literature was obtained from various secondary sources including text
books, journals, news papers, company reports, and the internet, on the major variables of
the study in line with the research objectives.
Findings indicate that firms are mainly constrained by internal factors like ownership and
management. External factors like poor government support through elimination of cross
border trade barriers and competition from similar industries also exist. It was also
identified that REI has played a great role in facilitating industrial growth through
financial and non-financial support programmes.
