Summary (English)

ECA's work programme now focuses on achieving results in two related and mutually supportive areas: promoting Regional Integration in support of the African Union vision and priorities and meeting Africa's special needs and emerging global challenges. It aims to provide significant technical support to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) and also to promote peer learning and knowledge sharing in a range of development areas. Within these two pillars, the Commission focuses on the following thematic areas:

  • Regional Integration, Trade and Infrastructure;
  • Meeting the MDGs with a special emphasis on Poverty Reduction and Growth, Sustainable Development and Gender;
  • Promoting Good Governance and Popular Participation;
  • ICT, Science and Technology for Development;
  • Statistics and Statistical Development.
