IntroductionRegional integration, as a factor in development, is one of theAfrican Union’s most significant objectives. It is no big surprisethat in the repositioning plan of the ECA, the promotion of regionalintegration in support of the African Union’s vision and prioritiesemerged as one of the two pillars of the Commission’s new focus.Regional integration is very important because of the nature of Africa’seconomies, which, being small and fragmented, stand to enjoya variety of economic benefits that would come from integration,in addition to becoming a stronger voice in international economicdecision-making.In the implementation of its new focus on promoting integration,ECA decided to pursue research and policy analysis of issues relatingto regional organisation, strengthen capacity and provide technicalassistance to institutions driving the regional integration agenda,and work on a range of cross-border activities and initiatives in severalsectors that are vital to the regional integration agenda.This approach has informed and guided the work of ECA and its developmentadvocacy since it was established half a century ago, butparticularly since the adoption of the repositioning plan.Integrating Africa65
