| Established
in 1958, ECA is one of five regional commissions under the
administrative direction of United Nations
(UN) headquarters. As the regional arm of the UN in Africa,
it is mandated to support the economic and social development
of its 53 member States, foster regional integration, and promote
international cooperation for Africa's development. It reports
to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). |
|
The Commission
is organized around six substantive programme divisions: Development
Policy and Management; Economic and Social Policy; Gender and
Development; Information for Development; Sustainable Development;
and Trade and Regional Integration. Five subregional offices
contribute a subregional perspective to the work programme
and support outreach.
