To build human and institutional capacity in Africa, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a three-year partnership with the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF).

The signing would be undertaken by UNECA deputy executive secretary Dr Abdalla Hamdock and ACBF executive secretary Professor Emmanuel Nnadozie at the ACBF secretariat in Harare, Zimbabwe, later this week.

Established in 1991, ACBF builds human and institutional capacity for good governance and economic development in Africa. This will be the third time UNECA and ACBF are partnering. The first MoU was signed in December 2008 and extended for the second time in September 2011.

The MoU would seek to create capacity development for transformation leadership; capacity development to track, stop and return illicit financial flows; enhance the capacity development of African peer-review mechanism countries; assist policy research on root causes and development consequences of conflict in Africa; execute case studies on gender-equitable growth and development in selected African countries and promote the implementation of a data revolution in Africa.

Other areas of the partnership would include economic policy analysis and management, regional integration, trade capacity, gender and capacity building, information, communication and technology, knowledge management, statistics, governance, institutional building and monitoring and evaluation.

The two organisations would reinforce modalities for providing services and support to member States and regional economic communities for capacity building interventions in key areas such as policy analysis and advocacy; consensus building on Africa’s key development challenges; and the provision of technical assistance to member countries, African institutions and civil society organisations.

Through the latest agreement, UNECA and ACBF would continue to exchange information on events of interest to Africa and the two institutions; exchange publications and reports produced; and share information on partner profiles, contacts and products.   

The cooperation and collaboration between UNECA and ACBF would not only serve their common aims, but also render their respective programmes and activities more effective and beneficial to African countries.
