In a significant effort to promote transparency and efficiency, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) is organizing its year-end Accountability and Programme Performance Review Meeting (APPRM) from 8 to 12 December 2025 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, focusing on evaluating the organisation’s performance throughout 2025 and strategizing for impactful initiatives and results in 2026.
This APPRM is significant, coming amid recent calls for UN reforms to improve efficiency. The meeting is under the theme “Sustaining Gains: Taking Stock of Results in 2025 and Planning for Strategic Impact in 2026,” which emphasises the importance of maintaining progress and preparing for future challenges.
The end-of-year APPRM serves as a key accountability tool, allowing the ECA to assess its progress against the targets outlined in its 2025 Annual Business Plan (ABP) and identify areas for growth and improvement.
