Abstract

The UN Economic and Social Council, by its Resolution 671 A (XXV) of 29 April 1958, established the Economic Commission for Africa, the youngest of the four UN regional economic commissions, at the time. Like its sister organizations, the basic aim of ECA was to assist in raising the level of economic activity in the region, and to maintain and strengthen the economic relations of the countries in the region, both among themselves and with other countries of the world. The publications exhibited are some of the "footprints" of the ECA. They have been put together as a testimony to ECA's efforts to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of its member States. Of course, this listing of ECA publications - its footprints - is not exhaustive of all that the Secretariat, through its various organs, divisions and units has produced during the nearly four decades of its existence. The UNECA Library through this exhibition of ECA publications pays due tribute to all, both past and present, who have aided the ECA in this process.
