The creation of CASD was considered to be the first action towards the implementation of the Plan of Action and has played the role of a technical committee, which assists ECA in discharging its responsibility of monitoring the implementation of Addis Ababa Plan of Action. In addition ECA as a secretariat of CASD has facilitated meetings of CASD, coordinated post meeting activities and disseminated CASD meeting reports, publications, newsletters.
