UMA partner institutions examine support to North African integration

Abstract

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) office for North Africa, and the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) will organize a North Africa Sub-Regional Coordination Mechanism meeting. RCM-Africa was set up in accordance with the UN General Assembly’s resolutions A/RES/57/2 and A/RES/57/7, which call on the international community, including the UN system, to support African development efforts by combining efforts to achieve NEPAD. RCM-Africa’s mission is to strengthen synergies between UN agency activities and those of other structures, lenders or donors in support to NEPAD. ECA was entrusted with the RCM-Africa coordination and secretariat.
