This commemorative issue of AFRICAN TARGET marks the Twenty-first Anniversary of ECA and has been specially produced to give readers an insight into the functions of the Economic Commission for Africa. In a brief history, and in the stories on the separate Divisions and Sections that make up the ECA, we provide a glimpse of the scope of its activities to date, focusing on the major achievements 'in the African region and its sub regions. It is not possible in a publication as limited as this to do more than touch upon the highlights. It is intended as an encapsulated review of the ECA's role over the past twenty-one years and it is hoped that it will acquaint a wider circle of readers with the work of the Commission. For those engaged on research stints who are interested in an in depth assessment of ECA' s policies and projects over the years, ·study facilities exist at the Commission's headquarters in Africa Hall, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia or our Documents Section will gladly furnish a list of publications and papers on specific projects for detailed study.
