Ministers, New Belgian Ambassador call on Vera Songwe
Executive Secretary, Vera Songwe, had a busy day Tuesday, meeting with ministers from Ethiopia and Somalia and receiving the newly-appointed Belgian Ambassador to Ethiopia. In the separate meetings, the ES discussed cooperation with the three countries, ECA’s digital initiative, the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), poverty reduction, job creation on the continent and related issues. The handbook studies Ethiopia’s unique model of development where the state plays a central role, and where successful industrialization has challenged the long-held assumption that industrial policy will never work in Africa. Following hard-on-the-heels of Mr. Oqubay was Mr. François Dumont, the newly appointed Ambassador of Belgium to Ethiopia, Djibouti and Permanent Representative to the African Union. The ECA is working with Somalia in its bid to ratify the agreement which needs 22 signatories to come into force. So far 16 countries have ratified.
