ECA's work on sustainable development in line with Africa's priority, says Dione
The Director of Food and Sustainable Development Division at the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Dr. Josue Dione said today in Addis Ababa that the Commission’s work, especially in land policy, agriculture and climate change, were in line with the most serious development challenges faced by Africa. Briefing the Bureau of the fifth session of the Africa Committee on Sustainable Development, Dr. Dione said many conflicts in Africa could be traced to land issues, and that those conflicts would be aggravated with climate change in the years to come. The Bureau, which consists of Kenya (Chair), Namibia (First Vice Chair), DRC (Second Vice Chair), Sudan (Third Vice Chair) and Senegal as Rapporteur, noted that ECA had made impressive progress in its preparation for the forthcoming Sixth Session of the Committee on Food Security and Sustainable Development (CFSSD-6) scheduled for 27-30 October under which auspices the Africa Regional Implementation Meeting for the Eighteenth session of the Commission on Sustainable will be convened.
