Economic co-operation in Africa is part of a general movement which is causing nations to group together, in order to achieve rapid, overall and less costly economic development. It answers a need which is felt, to different degrees, by both the developed and developing countries, since the law of economies of scale is equally applicable to both categories. Consequently, it is important for African countries to strive to improve their cooperation and to define the type of cooperation that they want, in the light of the intended objectives. They must then identify the best means of achieving these objectives.
