Abstract

ECA initiated the African Development Forum in 1999 as a multi-stakeholder platform for building consensus on identified key challenges of African development and the strategies for overcoming them. The theme of each ADF has addressed a pressing development challenge. For example, the first ADF was on Information and Communication Technology while the second was on the Leadership Challenge of HIV and AIDS in Africa.
