ECA 2015 research programme

Abstract

The ECA 2015 Research Programme consists of a coordinated set of projects undertaking related research, the results of which will promote the economic and social development of African member States, foster intraregional integration, and promote international cooperation for the development of Africa. The programme offers numerous opportunities for new partnerships with African and foreign research institutions, think tanks, individual scholars, and other international research bodies and civil society organizations. Specifically, the programme will produce evidence-based policy recommendations pertaining to the accelerated industrialization needed by all African economies to achieve the kind of inclusive economic development that Member States seek and to set the stage for dramatically increased regional economic integration throughout the continent.
