A Survey of the Capacity Needs of Africa’s Regional Economic Communities

By:

Publisher:

Date of publication: 
2008

The book delves deep into the institutional, human and financial dimensions of the capacity constraints affecting the ability of the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) to implement NEPAD's Short-Term Action Plan (STAP) projects and other related programs. The study, which is based on a detailed analysis of the needs of nine RECs, examines the scale and scope of their capacity deficits. The findings point to serious institutional constraints that are capable of rendering any capacity enhancement exercise ineffective, if not attended to.

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.
