The EAC Engineering Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) provides a framework for the recognition of engineering qualifications and professional competencies across participating EAC Partner States, supporting the mobility of qualified engineers and facilitating access to professional opportunities across borders.
Don’t just qualify. Get professionally recognised.
Register with your national competent authority today and position yourself for opportunities across the EAC.
Professional registration demonstrates that you have met the requirements to practise engineering in your country and strengthens your professional standing.
Find out the academic qualifications, professional experience and other requirements for registration in your country.
Gather your academic certificates, identification documents, professional experience records and any other documents required by your competent authority.
Apply for registration through the relevant national engineering regulatory or competent authority.
Where applicable, fulfil the required professional assessments, examinations, interviews, practical experience or competency requirements.
Once you meet the requirements, your competent authority will grant the appropriate professional registration or recognition.
If you want to practise or pursue engineering opportunities in another EAC Partner State, explore the recognition requirements under the EAC Engineering MRA and the requirements of the destination country.
Start by getting professionally registered in your home country.
The EAC Engineering MRA can then help you understand the framework for recognition and professional mobility across participating EAC Partner States.
The platform is developed for the EAC Secretariat, with financial support from GIZ-LIFTED – a project jointly co-financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU) and technical support from ESAMI–trapca.
