The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA)
UNECA was established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations (UN) in 1958 as one of the UN's five regional commissions. ECA's mandate is to promote the economic and social development of its member states, foster intra-regional integration, and promote international cooperation for Africa's development.

ECA's work programme now focuses on achieving results in two related and mutually supportive areas:
  • Promoting Regional Integration in support of the African Union vision and priorities
  • Meeting Africa's special needs and emerging global challenges

Within these two pillars, the Commission focuses on the following thematic areas:
  • Regional Integration, Trade and Infrastructure
  • Meeting the MDGs with a special emphasis on Poverty
  • Reduction and Growth, Sustainable Development and Gender
  • Promoting Good Governance and Popular Participation
  • ICT, Science and Technology for Development
  • Statistics and Statistical Development
