ECA Drives Progress in Africa through Strategic Engagement

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) continues to engage actively in global events and initiatives, advocating for Africa’s interests and strengthening the continent’s voice on important issues across various international forums, including the African Climate Summit, Financing Development, World Information Summit, and Food Systems Summit.

Said Adejumobi, Director of the Strategic Planning, Oversight, and Results Division of the ECA, disclosed in a corporate report at the Accountability and Programme Performance Review Meeting (APPRM), a key ECA accountability and transparency mechanism held every quarter, that tracks the progress of programmes against the Annual Business Plans (ABP) and monitors performance on budget and programme delivery.

The 3rd Quarter APPRM meeting was held in Addis Ababa on 6 October 2025, under the leadership of Mr. Claver Gatete, Executive Secretary of the Commission. It was under the theme “Connecting the dots: Gathering momentum for Q4 Annual Reporting.” The meeting was attended by all management members of the ECA and their teams.

Director Said further disclosed that the ECA has also made significant progress in supporting African countries in macroeconomic policy and financial profiles, including on domestic resource mobilisation, which has helped improve financial stability of African countries.
