Address by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the Seventy-fifth Ordinary Session of the OAU Council of Ministers and Tenth Ordinary Session of the African Economic Community. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, ECA’s African Development Forum (ADF) is beginning to be well known. In ADF, we manage to merge, in one gathering, officials from all governments and major continental organizations, along with leaders of essential stakeholder groups, such as parliamentarians, the judiciary, civil society, the private sector, women, youth, media and the Diaspora. The subject of ADF III was "Defining Priorities for Regional Integration in Africa". The regional economic communities (RECs) that were created as stepping-stones to regional integration have played a significant role in the success of our regional integration efforts.
