Report of the second conference of African ministers of social affair

Abstract

ECA's commitment to socioeconomic development in the African Region through continued co-operation with member Governments and other organizations interested in the social development of Africa. He called for an inter-disciplinary approach to developmental planning, involving the inter-twining of social, cultural, technological and economic factors in order to achieve the cherished goals of social development. The development of the social institutional framework and administrative structures was vital to the success of development efforts, and he expected that the African Centre for Research and Training in Social Development when established would make its most vital contribution in that respect
