Welcome to the ECA Publications Catalogue. The Catalogue features reports and studies that are made available over the years. These publications are available in print and also in digital format on our website for immediate viewing or download. The publications – which include the Economic Report on Africa, our flagship publication – represent the work of ECA and cover a wide range of thematic areas forming part of the transformative development agenda for the renaissance of Africa. More specifically, the publications capture the work ECA does to monitor Africa’s economic growth, understand mega-trends and their implications for African economies, and promote the rise of emerging economies. The publications featured here are organized into the following six categories:
- The ECA flagship publication: the most in-depth and analytical signature think piece that communicates the strategic thinking of ECA and carries its voice on key development issues.
- Special thematic Publicaitions: these are standalone reports to systematically discuss a specific topic. They build on the knowledge and original thinking developed by ECA and represent the depth of ECA’s thinking on a specific issue.
- ECA journals: these are part of ECA policy/research journal publication programme consisting of two journals. They are meant to provide a platform for the publication of multi-disciplinary research providing perspectives and innovative thinking on Africa’s development experience.
- Thematic headline publications: these are periodic key publications that focus on major issues of ECA’s specific programme areas and provide progress updates in these areas. They are meant to deliver ECA’s voice in specialized areas.
- Geographic headline publications: examples of these publications include the Country Profiles series led by the ECA subregional offices to report latest developments and first-hand experiences on the ground as well as regional profiles.
- Reports on the work of ECA: these include statutory and strategic reports on programme implementation as well as organizational papers on ECA change management processes.
The ECA website is increasingly being used to provide quick and easy access to publications. ECA publications are available in both English and French and occasionally in Arabic.
