Review of progress short-term forecasting and multi-sectoral planning models

Abstract

The present paper gives an overview of the experience that the secretariat gained in the implementation of the system in some countries. Specific issues and proposals are derived from this experience for the benefit of the countries that might in the future wish to establish the forecasting system. Part two of the paper also gives an analysis of a complementary project dealing with multi sectoral planning models. This is found to be particularly important in view of Africa's Priority Programme for Economic Recovery adopted by the 21st session of the OAU.
