United Nations Economic Commission for Africa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA or ECA) was established in 1958 to encourage economic cooperation among its member states (the nations of the African continent). It is one of five regional commissions under the administrative direction of United Nations headquarters. With its main offices in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the ECA has 53 member states and reports to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
The Commission's work is structured into six programme divisions:
- Development policy and management
- Economic and social policy
- Gender and development
- Information for development
- Sustainable development
- Trade and regional integration
