16 A <strong>Decade</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>NEPAD</strong>: Deepening <strong>Africa</strong>n Private Sector and Civil Society Ownership and Partnership<br />
Through the RCM, two structures <strong>for</strong> coordination among<br />
UN agencies have been established: 1) an annual meeting<br />
<strong>of</strong> UN agencies working in <strong>Africa</strong>, and 2) a sector-focused<br />
cluster system. Coordination at the regional level takes<br />
place at three levels: 1) inter-agency coordination within<br />
the UN clusters between Coordinator and cluster members;<br />
2) inter-agency coordination within the RCM between the<br />
ECA and Cluster Coordinators, and 3) inter-organizational<br />
coordination within <strong>Africa</strong> between the UN and the AU,<br />
<strong>NEPAD</strong>, the RECs and the <strong>Africa</strong>n Development Bank.<br />
An additional coordination mechanism is also envisioned<br />
at the sub-regional level involving the UNECA sub-regional<br />
<strong>of</strong>fices (SROs). Through this structure the SROs act<br />
to bring together UN agencies and the respective RECs<br />
in each respective sub-region in support <strong>of</strong> the AU and<br />
<strong>NEPAD</strong>. Capacity building among the RECs and intergovernmental<br />
organizations is the envisioned focus <strong>of</strong><br />
this ef<strong>for</strong>t toward enhancing their respective abilities to<br />
manage and implement AU/ <strong>NEPAD</strong> programmes.<br />
