ECA's Nine Programmatic Clusters
Ideas for a prosperous Africa
Macroeconomics, Finance and Governance Division (MFGD)
Supports the achievement of Africa’s development agenda through development planning, macroeconomic policy and economic governance, and public finance.
Private Sector Development and Finance
Supports member States in their endeavor to achieve accelerated job creation, sustained economic growth and prosperity through leveraging the role and resources of the private sector, promoting innovative financing solutions and creating the environment in which private sector investments for agribusiness, energy, infrastructure, and other sectors can become viable.
Data and statistics
Focuses on improving the production, dissemination, and use of high-quality and comparable data and statistics in Africa to support evidence-based policymaking, planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting for the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063.
Climate Change, Food Security and Natural Resource Division (CFND)
Supports the efficient management of natural resource endowments; reducing the negative impacts of climate change by moving towards green transitions and climate-resilient development and harnessing new technologies in the context of sustainable development.
African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP)
Focuses on improving public sector management and development planning in support of the structural transformation of member States
Subregional Activities for Development
Tackles effectively the development challenges faced by the Member States and regional economic communities in their respective subregions through the five subregional offices, which cover North, West, Central, East and Southern Africa, all of which are specialized in selected thematic areas
Gender equality and the empowerment of women
Our programme aims to support member States in their efforts to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment in every sphere of life. We support member States in accelerating the implementation of relevant policies, mechanisms and tools as well as the monitoring and evaluation of their international commitments in order to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Regional Integration and Trade
Focuses on the central role of achieving effective regional cooperation and economic integration among member States by supporting efforts to deepen regional markets, boost intra-African trade and global trade, accelerate industrialization and tackle the challenges of structural transformation
Poverty, Inequality and Social Policy
