The renewal of ECA, the UN Economic Commission for Africa to take center stage as Africa's think-tank for development, moved into top gear in Addis Ababa. The latest boost, for the agency's drive to serve Africa better came after a two-day meeting of high level African development experts and activists endorsed ECA's new and sharper program focus. The strategy is to concentrate on five major program areas, with three cross-cutting themes, in the organization’s work as a social and economic, policy and information coordinator and outreach center.
