Seventh Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union : statement by Abdoulie Janneh UN under secretary general and executive secretary of the economic commission for Africa
Statement By Abdoulie Janneh UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the Seventh Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, they have made notable progress in our attempts to integrate over the past 50 years, in particular, since the creation of the first Regional Economic Communities (RECs). The initial edition of ECA’s flagship publication on regional integration, Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA I), published in 2004, reports that some of the RECs have made significant progress in trade, communications, macroeconomic policy, and transport. The ECA has been working on regional integration issues since its inception in 1958. It played a big part in the creation of some of the regional economic communities. Under ECA’s repositioning initiative, and in line with its mandate and the African Union’s agenda, ECA will now focus on achieving results in two related areas, namely: Promoting regional integration; and meeting Africa’s special needs and challenges. ECA will continue to work to assist member States and the RECs, in very close partnership with the African Union Commission and the African Development Bank, in the pursuit of the noble goals of integration and development of our beloved continent.
