    Introduction:

    The Economic Policy Analysis Unit of the Ivorian Centre for Economic and Social Research (CAPEC) was established in 1993 under the support of the Ivorian Centre for Economic and Social Research (CIRES).  It was aimed at strengthening local capacity in the analysis and management of macroeconomic policies with a view to contributing to the search for solutions to the economic difficulties facing Cote d’Ivoire.

    Project Description:

    The goal of CAPEC-CIRES was to strengthen its institutional platform and consolidate its achievements so that it can mature into a sustainable locus of excellence, capable of supporting and enhancing the capacity of the Government of Cote d’Ivoire. CAPEC-CIRES was to effectively guide and manage post-conflict policy, poverty reduction strategy and development efforts in the country, in partnership with other stakeholders such as the donor community, the private sector and civil society.

    Expected Results:

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.
Mr. Lamin Momodou MANNEH, Director, UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
