The Eighth Session of the ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, to be held from 21 - 22 November 2000, aims to prepare African countries for the two major events that have been mandated by the UN General Assembly to be convened during 2001: a High-Level Inter-Governmental Event on Financing for Development and the Third United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Organized by ECA with the African Development Bank (ADB) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Conference will focus on some of the major development challenges facing Africa. It will also address the need to accelerate Africa’s growth and development through better integration into the global economy, particularly in relation to the least developed countries - 33 of which are in Africa. The Conference will issue two Ministerial Statements to ensure that Africa's concerns are firmly placed on the agenda of the High Level Intergovernmental Event on Financing or Development and the Third UN Conference for the Least Developed Countries.
