On the heels of the 8th Extraordinary Session of the Heads of State of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) held in Libreville, Gabon, the Economic Commission for Africa has been organizing a series of dialogues across Central Africa to encourage countries of the sub-region to stay the course of structural transformation. The path involves dynamically moving from low-value agrarian economic structures to productive agriculture, manufacturing and quality services - this is seen as the pathway way towards inclusive growth and sustainable development. More about ECA in this BRIEFING.
