Abstract

This annual report, which is submitted to the forty-sixth session of the Commission/Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, covers the period from April 2012 to March 2013. It provides a synoptic overview of the major activities, trends, events and programme accomplishments of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) during the past year within the context of its broad mandate of promoting the economic and social development of Africa. The period covered by the report was marked by both progress and deepening of efforts towards transformation in member States and the transition and reforms taking place at ECA, which itself was an important element in responding to the changes taking place in the member States.
