Industrial development decade for Africa: executive summary

Abstract

The present summary report which covers selected activities of the ECA, OAU and UNIDO secretariats in implementation of the programme for the Industrial Development Decade for Africa. However, pivotal activities at the country level could not be covered for lack of sufficient information from the countries concerned. As discussed elsewhere guidelines have been prepared for the organization of National Co-ordination Committees and Operational Focal Points which, if utilized properly, would be instrumental also in monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the Decade at the national level. These guidelines are also intended to assist member States in initiating short- and medium-term measures for the implementation of the Decade.
