There are clear signs that the campaign for structural transformation and regional integration, which ECA has been championing for years, now is sinking among Central Africa’s policy makers. Top state officials from host country, Cameroon; a college of ambassadors from CEMAC countries and the CEMAC Commission; academics; and policy planners from several African countries praised ECA’s practical approach to unpacking the social and economic challenges of the region and suggesting avenues for improvement. The publications presented included the Economic Report on Africa 2016, the 7th edition of Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA VII) and the maiden batch of ECA’s country profiles for the Central African sub-region.
