Update on the strategic framework of the Economic Commission for Africa: note by the Executive Secretary
Update on the strategic framework of the Economic Commission for Africa. In September 2021, the Secretary-General issued his report entitled “Our Common Agenda” (A/75/982), in response to the call by member States for strengthened global governance, following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the need for the global community to work together in strengthening collective response to current and future challenges. Where Africa is concerned, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the worst economic recession for the continent in half a century, with real GDP contracting by 3 per cent in 2020. Public financing needs surged as governments responded to the crisis, leading to elevated debt vulnerability levels. Implementation of Our Common Agenda provides an opportunity for the Economic Commission for Africa to respond more effectively to future challenges and opportunities, and also to deliver tangible results that will support recovery and resilience on the continent.
