Report of the Executive Secretary on the activities of the Economic Commission for Africa from April 2023 to February 2024

Abstract

Report of the Executive Secretary on the activities of the Economic Commission for Africa from April 2023 to February 2024 focuses on the programme of work of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) for 2023 is rooted in a common understanding of transformational pathways and in an evidence base that has given rise to a coherent school of thought and practice that has positioned ECA as a thought leader in the sphere of African socioeconomic development. During the period under review, the Commission has focused on interventions that are grounded in its knowledge products, and the provision of capacity-building support, technical assistance, and advisory services to its members. These interventions are well informed by clear theoretical knowledge and empirical evidence, with a view to accelerating socioeconomic development in Africa.
