Senior officials of the Economic Commission for Africa participated in a special session of UN agencies that are members of an Inter-Agency Cluster on Trade and Productive Capacity. The session was held on the sidelines of the ongoing UNCTAD XIII on ways to foster more cooperation and enhance synergies among themselves. The cluster has as its focus, strengthening trade and productive capacities of countries. According to Alan Kyerematen who heads the Africa Trade Policy Center of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the Cluster’s focus on productive capacity is an important part of the African trade agenda. He says African countries need to produce a broader range of better quality goods and in that regard, they need an understanding of their productive resources, entrepreneurial capabilities and productive linkages.” With this understanding, a country can determine its capacity to produce the kinds of goods and services that can propel it to greater growth and development.
