ECA to host mid-year review to strengthen joint delivery and UN@80 reforms

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) is scheduled to hold its Second Quarter Accountability and Programme Performance Review Meeting (APPRM) at the United Nations Conference Centre in Addis Ababa from June 17 to 19.

The event, themed “Enhancing Joint Delivery for Improved Results after UN@80 Reforms: A Mid-Year Review,” will bring together ECA’s leadership, programme managers, and partners to evaluate progress toward the Commission’s 2026 Annual Business Plan targets.

During the APPRM, participants will focus on advancements in ECA’s subprogrammes and support divisions, with particular emphasis on collaborative efforts across four key thematic areas: the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Regional Value Chains, Technology and Digital Transformation, and Macroeconomic Policy and Planning. The meeting will also examine resource mobilization and implementation challenges to pinpoint areas that need acceleration or modification.
