Although the sub region has registered appreciable economic growth in recent years, this has not translated into human development, nearly all countries except Seychelles scoring low human development indices of 0.316 - 0.773. Nonetheless, countries in Eastern Africa have made efforts to address social concerns and provide social services to their people. These include improving access to education through the introduction of free education in some countries, and addressing health concerns. However, the subregion still faces social challenges such as high population pressure, food insecurity and persistent hunger, high illiteracy rates, poor health and prevalence of diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
