The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Development Bank and the African Union Commission (AUC) will jointly host a webinar to launch the second Africa Regional Integration Index (ARII 2019) on Friday, 22 May 2020.
The Africa Regional Integration Index assesses the regional integration status and efforts of member states of the eight regional economic communities recognised by the African Union.
According to the statement launching the initiative, “Regional integration holds tremendous promise for Africa and the ARII’s role is to provide benchmarking and monitoring data that policymakers can use to realise that promise.”
The webinar, the statement stated, also presents an opportunity to discuss the key findings and recommendations of the report.
