better Africa</strong></h3> <p>Under the revised framework, the Commission plans to actively engage the private sector as a key partner for Africa’s development. To accelerate growth and achieve the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063, Africa needs to increase its productivity, leverage more financing and support innovation. The private sector can help deliver on this. ECA will, therefore<strong>, deepen its collaboration with the private sector to</strong> help improve the overall private sector enabling the environment. In addition to ongoing activities, the Commission will also work with member States in both the normative and practical aspects of State-building through robust governance systems, which should include focusing on conflict and post-conflict countries with the aim of building their resilience and thereby preventing further crises, as well as attacking issues of poverty and inequality.</p> <p>ECA’s thematic areas of focus:</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="../node/191">Macroeconomics and governance</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/199">Regional integration and trade</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/192">Private sector development and finance</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/193">Data and statistics</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/194">Technology, climate change, and natural resource management</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/198">Gender, Poverty and Social Policy</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/196">Economic development and planning</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>The five subregional offices (SROs) of the Commission will, in addition to supporting the implementation of the five strategic directions through the subprogrammes, also specialize in selected thematic areas to ensure a more effective approach to member State support at the subregional level. The capacity and resources of the African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP) will be strengthened in order to provide the necessary training and policy support for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 by member States. The areas of specialization identified for SROs are:</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="../node/226">SRO-CA: Economic diversification policy and reforms</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="../node/227">SRO-EA: Deepening regional integration– towards the implementation of AfCFTA</a></p> </li> <li><a href="../node/228">SRO-NA: Employment skills and balanced development</a></li> <li> <p><a href="../node/229">SRO-SA: Inclusive industrialization</a></p> </li> <li><a href="../node/230">SRO-WA: Demographic dynamics for development</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> </div></div></div> </article> </section> </div> </section> </div></div> </div> <div class="aboutsys"> </div> <div class="pagemiddle"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clients "> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="topcontent"> <div class="region region-top-content"> <section id="block-views-ffc2e325c5d3f2f9d1f26f93457602ab" class="block block-views programmaticcluster col-sm-12 clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">Programmatic Clusters</h2> <div class="view view-programmatic-clusters view-id-programmatic_clusters view-display-id-ourworksclusters view-dom-id-6cfcd945ad175d94dfa60bc61d55b273"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="allprogrammaticclustersrow"> <div class="fieldwrapper"> <div class="subsiteiconimg sysfield col-sm-4"> </div> <div class="subsitetitle col-sm-8 sysfield"> <a href="/technology-innovation-connectivity-and-infrastructure-division-ticid">Technology, Innovation, Connectivity and Infrastructure Division (TICID)</a> </div> <div class="subsitecallout col-sm-12 sysfield"> ECA’s Technology, Innovation, Connectivity and Infrastructure Division (TICID) facilitates the formulation, adoption, and implementation of new technology and innovation policies for African member... </div></div> </div> <div class="allprogrammaticclustersrow"> <div class="fieldwrapper"> <div class="subsiteiconimg sysfield col-sm-4"> <a href="/poverty-inequality-and-social-policy"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.uneca.org/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/subsiteiconimages/poverty.png?itok=0w12oDxN" width="100" height="100" alt="" /></a> </div> <div class="subsitetitle col-sm-8 sysfield"> <a href="/poverty-inequality-and-social-policy">Poverty, Inequality and Social Policy</a> </div> <div class="subsitecallout col-sm-12 sysfield"> The objective of this program is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable, inclusive and equitable human and social development in Africa. </div></div> </div> <div class="allprogrammaticclustersrow"> <div class="fieldwrapper"> <div class="subsiteiconimg sysfield col-sm-4"> <a href="/regional-integration-and-trade"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.uneca.org/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/subsiteiconimages/ritd.png?itok=uoog14Xc" width="100" height="90" alt="Regional integration and trade" /></a> </div> <div class="subsitetitle col-sm-8 sysfield"> <a href="/regional-integration-and-trade">Regional Integration and Trade</a> </div> <div class="subsitecallout col-sm-12 sysfield"> 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... </div></div> </div> <div class="allprogrammaticclustersrow"> <div class="fieldwrapper"> <div class="subsiteiconimg sysfield col-sm-4"> <a href="/gender-equality-and-empowerment-women"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.uneca.org/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/subsiteiconimages/gender.png?itok=-wJ9PRo7" width="100" height="90" alt="Gender equality and the empowerment of women icon" /></a> </div> <div class="subsitetitle col-sm-8 sysfield"> <a href="/gender-equality-and-empowerment-women">Gender equality and the empowerment of women</a> </div> <div class="subsitecallout col-sm-12 sysfield"> Our programme aims to support member States in their efforts to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment in every sphere of life.
