The African Development Forum III (ADF III) focuses on regional economic integration in Africa in the context of the recent commitment by African Heads of State to create the African Union (AU). The launching of the AU at the Lusaka Summit of the Heads of State and Government in July represents a historic opportunity to accelerate regional
integration – a challenge to Africa made all the more demanding today by the far-reaching changes occurring in the global economy. The Constitutive Act of the African Union calls for economic and monetary union. Special responsibility thereby falls upon all stakeholders, particularly the continent’s premier regional and sub-regional (accepted UN jargon for regional economic blocs; hereafter used in this sense) economic institutions, respectively, the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its successor bodies, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Development Bank (ADB), and the Regional Economic Communities (RECs).
