Draft programme of the second United Nations transport and communications decade in Africa ( UNTACDA II)1991 - 2000 : Preparation of UNTACDA II programme
The African member states have always recognised that transport and communications constitute a most important sector on whose development depend not only the growth in other sectors, but also the socio-economic integration of Africa, as well as the proportion of intra- and extra-African trade. In recognition of this special importance of the transport and communications sector for the African economy, the conference of ministers at the economic commission for Africa (ECA) in March 1977 adopted a resolution calling for the declaration of a decade for transport and communications, This resolution was endorsed first by the economic and social council and late by the general assembly of the United Nations which accordingly proclaimed the years 1978-1988 the United Nations transport and communications decade for Africa, UNTACDA in Resolution 32/160 of 19 December 1977. This resolution was subsequently endorsed by the assembly of heads of state and government of the organization of African unity in Monrovia in July 1979.
