History
as a programme within A-XA3375 - United Nations (UN). The first Decade, 1978-1988, was officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly, Dec 1977. Evaluation of the first Decade programme showed that, despite efforts of African governments and donors, existing transport and communications systems in Africa were still inadequate to promote Africa's economic development and constituted major constraints in overall economic integration and development. Thus, prompted by African governments, UNCTADA II (1991-2000) was proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 43/179, 20 Dec 1988. Within regular programme of E-XE4174 - United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), managed by the Division on Regional Cooperation and Integration. Terminated at end of decade.
Aims
Mobilize African governments, intergovernmental organizations, the United Nations System and external support agencies for coherent action in development of transport and communications services in Africa; establish an efficient, integrated transport and communications system as a basis for physical integration of Africa; facilitate national and international traffic so as to foster trade and the achievement of self-sustained economic development.
