An HTML (web-based) version of the EAC Treaty is the latest addition to the repertoire of web resources available to you off the EAC Web Portal. This feature can be accessed at http://www.eac.int/treaty. The web-based Treaty comes with a host of advantages and below, we highlight some of them;
Search it
The HTML-based Treaty is searchable, so you can now instantly find out what the Treaty says about the environment or civil society by simply typing the relevant keyword. No need to flip through dozens of pages!
Take it everywhere, find it anywhere
The HTML-based Treaty means that anytime you have access to the internet you have access to the Treaty, and that includes on your mobile phone! So you can keep the Treaty in your pocket, or find it at the internet cafe in your neighbourhood.
No need to scroll
On the Treaty homepage, you can quickly navigate to any of the chapters of the Treaty, and to make access easier, each chapter comes with a collapsible menu containing individual articles. You won’t have to scroll through multiple pages of a PDF document anymore.
No software hiccups
You don’t have to worry about downloading the Treaty and finding that the computer you’re using requires a PDF software installation for you to read the Treaty. Web browsers like Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are standard PC software, so all you need is the internet.
Faster download
HTML-based webpages are lighter than any other format, and that means you don’t have to wait for ages for the PDF version of the Treaty to download. This HTML version of the Treaty has had its pages optimised for faster download.
Download the PDF version
But if you should still fancy a copy of the Treaty that you can read offline, then the link to the PDF version that has been placed on the homepage provides you with a constantly available download link.
