I. BACKGROUND

1, The Economic Commission for Africa has, at its various sessions, adopted resolutions aimed at enhancing economic co-operation. In particular, the importance of eponoBvi^eo-operation as a strategy for. economic development in the Africa region.'asas-given great emphasis at the.fifth session of the Commission in 1963 when,, pursuant to the recommendations of the Standing Committee.on Trade (B?CN.H/l74) and the Working Party of the whole of the Standing,Committee on Industry and Natural Resources (SUCN.14/192;;

resolution 86(v) was- adopted, requesting the Executive Secretary of ECA to undertake intensive studies on major problems of an African Common Market, having regard-to the balanced integration of the economic develop ment of the African- countries. A resolution adopted at the eighth

session of the Commission in 19^7 elaborated.the framework within whioh co-operation in Africa was to be undertaken,

2O Several subsequent resolutions and recommendations adopted by ECA . ; and OAU give special recognition to multinational co-operation and

collective self-reliance.. The African Declaration on Co-operation, Development and Economic Independence adopted by African Heads of.State

and Government in 1973 underlined the importance attached by African^ ., countries on collective self-reliance and economic independence, and pro vides policy.-guidelines for'.regional, subregional and sectoral, co

operation. The eleventh extraordinary session of the OAU Council of Ministers, held in Kinshasa.in December 1^76,:emphasized the importance of co-operative action.in Africa and recommended various programmes and mechanisms for accelerating economic co-operation*

3.-v.nWithin the framework of these policy guidelines as. well as the principles and objectives established in the Programme of Action on the Establishment of a "New International Economic Order and the resolution on development and international economic co-operation adopted at the seventh special session of the United Nations General Assembly, the ECA secretariat has formulated a strategy and guidelines for an action programme. 1/

ECA^8:. strategy emphasizes, inter alia, that, the process of optimum national development can be fully achieved only through a multinational process.

This^-is the foundation and objective oi multinational programming and implementation of co-operative projects and arrangements in Africa.

4. The action programme prepared by the ECA secretariat was endorsed by the Eleventh SEactraor<iinary Session of the-OAU Council of Ministers held in.Kinshasa in December 1976 r and was adopted by the fourth ECA Conference.

of Ministers held in .February-I-Iarch 1977 and subsequently by the, Conference of African Heads of State and Government held in Libreville in June 1977. .

■'" ■ ' ' ' ■ " ■ II. OBJECTIVES ■

5« In recognition of the urgency of multinational co-operation and the need to integrate national socio-economic policies in subregional and regional programmes through, inter alia, collective action by groups of countries and the continuous participation of the ECA secretariat in the formulation and implementation of raultiiiational projects' at grassroots;' the fourth ECA Conference of" Ministers and thirteenth session of the Commission directed that ECA Multinational Programming and Operational Centres (MULPOCs) should be established at subregional levels"2/f

(resolution 31l(XIIl) - Multinational Programming and Operational Centres), The JUJLPOCs have both proximate and ultimate objectives..

6. The. ultimate objective . of the MLFLPOCs is the promotion of multi national economic.co—operation at the subregional levels with a view to the creation of some'form of subitegidnal common market or customs union as a step.towards regional economic integration. As noted above this goal and rationale have been endorsed by both the Economic Commission fo*

Africa^and the OAU. The dominance of the subsistence- sector in most African economies, the existence of small fragmented national markets, the underutilization of resources and excessive external orientation of African economies; combine to make economic co-operation indispensable for the rapid and self-reliant transformation of the Africa region. To achieve success in promoting multinational co-operation it is also

imperative that national development programmes should be related meanings fully to subregional and regional programmes and that each country should internalise economic co-operation in its socio-economic policy. The MQLPOC' machinery is intended to be the instrument or modus "operand! for achieving these objective' .

7» It is, however, recognized that subregional and regional economic integration and the effective internalisation of national economic policies into subregional programmes, may take many.decades to accomplish. It is in this context that, in the short-run, the MUtPGCs give emphasis to proximate objectives,, The MULPOCs are not intended to, and cannot, force the pace towards subregional and regional economic integration. Accordingly their proximate objective is to mobilize groups of African countries for collective action in the identification and implementation of a limited number of projects and programmes (bilateral or multinational over two- year cycles) which are critical for the progressive promotion of the multi

national process at subregional levels, taking into account the unique socio-economic characteristics and constraints of each subregion. It is expected that, as part of the proximate objectives, the MJLPOC machinery will promote the creation of national development agenoies which will ensure that national programmes are progressively related to multinational

programmes. ■■■■-<■... ...

III. THE STRUCTURE AND POLICY ORGANS OF THE MULPOCS

8. In adopting resolution 31l(XIIl) the fourth ECA Conference of Ministers took account of ECA's experience during the last fourteen years, which had shown that while it is relatively easy for ECA to establish strategies and pro£r*tumes of action, follow-up action on implementation of multinational projects is a much more difficult business* The Ministerial Conference also took account of the fact that institutional machinery which had been created in the past had not been much of a success, because it tended to concentrate on advisory services and was not effectively integrated into

the policy organs of governments- . ;

9» Henoe, one of the objectives of resolution 31l(XIIl) is to create

machinery which would integrate the ECA secretariat into the decision- . . making machinery of governments; in order to increase ECA's direct

involvement and effectiveness in assisting governments in the formulation and design of projects at the ground level, and in continuous consulta tions with the governments in monitoring the implementation of approved projects,

10. In 1975? following financial and other operational problems of the

then three UNDATs (United Nations Multinational Interdisciplinary

Development Advisory Teams) existing in Africa and the realisation that the ECA subregional offices had not been effective institutions for

promoting subregional economic integration, a joint ECA/UNDP Evaluation

Mission on African UNDATs was appointed to evaluate their performance

and recommend the course of future development, One of the key recommenda*

tions of that mission was that the UNDATs should, be transformed from being,

mere„advisory .bodies to more positive operational instruments for develop

ment. .Instead of confining themselves to conducting studies and tendering technical advice, they should be actively involved in the identification, design and implementation of multinational projects and thus become

effective agents for economic co-operation and integration at the sub- regional levels. This recommendation was endorsed by the Conference of African Planners held in Addis Ababa in 1916. and adopted by the fourth ECA Ministerial Meetings In resolution 31l(XIIl) the ECA Conference of

Ministers reaffirmed that subregional and sectoral integration constituted the foundation for the establishment of an African Common Market and

decided that the three UNDATs and the two ECA subregional offices should be phased out and replaced by ECA Multinational Programming and Opera tional Centres (MULPOCs).

11. The Ministers also resolved that in order to ensure that the new multinational machinery (MULPOCs) would be fully integrated into the decision-making machinery of governments and would therefore reflect the priorities of governments, individually and collectively* it should be supervised by inter-goyernmental policy organs at ministerial and

official levels. The ministerial organ would be a Council consisting of

ministers responsible for development planning from all member States

served by a MULPOC. It would act on behalf of the regional ECA Conference

E/CNa4/CAP.7/5

Page 4 ,

of Ministers. It would be the supreme .policy organ of a MULPOC. Inter alia, it would take decisions on priority projects and programmes, monitor

implementation^ make periodic reviews on the activities and structure of the"MtJLPOC and assist in the mobilization of manpower and financial resources. The Council" of Ministers would be assisted by a subsidiary body which would be- a committee consisting of officials who are permanent "

or principal' secretaries responsible for development planning in their respective countries. The functions of the Co:nmittee of Officials would ' include identification of projects1 and preparation of a detailed work ' programme for the approval of the Council of Ministers, monitoring and evaluation of implementation of approved projects, advising on personnel and administrative structure of the MULPOC and assisting in the mobiliza tion of resources. The Committee of Officials may recommend the creation of specialized ad hoc sectoral committees. The ministerial council and its subsidiary body - the Committee of Officials would meet once a year.

Whenever considered appropriate another body - Supervisory Committee of Officials'- could be created. This would meet once every three months to • review the activities of the MEJLPOC.

12. Since the adoption of resolution 31l(XIIl) in March 1977, inaugural meetings have been held for the creation of a family of five African

MULPOCs-3/ consisting of the Lusaka-based MtJLPOC for the countries of

Eastern and Southern Africa, the Gisenyi-based MULPOC for the Great Lakes Community countries of Central Afrioa, the Yaounde-based MULPOC for the countries of Central Africa, the Niamey-based MULPOC for the countries of West Afrioa (ECOWAS member States) and the Tangiers-based MULPOC for the

North African countries. /

13. The Lusaka, Gisenyi, Yaounde and Niamey MULPOCs are supervised "by Coutfoils of Ministers and Committees of Officials, as provided for in the resolution. The Lusaka and Yaounde MULPOCs also have supervisory commi-*

ttees* For North Africa, the inaugural meeting of experts, held in Maroh :

1978, recommended that the highest polidy organ should be a Conference of

Plenipotentiaries; this body will hold its'inaugural meeting in February 1979^ The inaugural meetings, in addition to taking decisions on policy organs, established the work programmes for'the MULPOCs,. : ■;

14. ■ '^he- establishtaen* of th'e MULPOCs in "the five subregions of Africa 'is an important !step-towards the transformation of EGA into an operational institutions It emphasizes the practical and operational role which" EGA intends to play in promoting subregional co-operation and integration as a step towards regional economic integration. While each MULPOC is

primarily responsible for the promotion of multinational and multisectoral projects within its particular subfregion in ?.ine with the priorities laid down by its specific policy organs, the five MULPOCs together can be ' viewed as one regional team with a-siii&l% purpose - the forging and promotion of subregional common markets-*a%"a-"first step towards a

regional common market. Together, they constitute the field operational

arm of ECA. .... : . _ ,, ;,~ ,- ;■,..■

IV. WORK PROGRAMMES

The work programmes established at the ina

fSries i/their development plans and also reflect o-

national projects with a multinational potential as well as

^or

and financial resources available. This approach is in the spirit and content of resolution 311 XIII) which requires, inter ^» *"**»?

hld dtrmine criteria f£

content of resolution 31 ) ^

governments themselves should determine criteria f£.sel^°" °* *£»

Priorities and monitor their implementation. In this context it might

^necessaryto reorient priorities in the overall ECA work programme to

take acS of the views'of the governments as expressed by the policy

organ^cf the MJLPOCs. It should be emphasised that as the projects are already part of ECA's work programme, this will not mean changing the content of the ECA work programme but making some rearrangement of priorities for the groups of countries conoerned.

16. In general the work programmes adopted by the policy organs of the

WLPOCs Sntain specific recommended lines of action for the P**™*™"*

economic co-operation in the fields of intra-subregional trade, transport, agriculture, industry, natural resources, manpower development and

tSegration of women in economic development. Within th.» -~t«. two categories of specific projects have been established ™:+Ca*^orrI

projects for the biennium 1977-1973 and Category II projects from which additional priorities will be selected during the medium-term period

1979-1981. The criteria used by the policy organs in selecting priorities for Category I included availability of resources, expressed willingness

o? the governments to take collective action in their implementation, the expected impact of the projects on the economic development of the

countries and sectoral inter-relationships and complementarities. In

recognition of sectoral inter-relationships and the complementary nature

of the projects both within the same group of countries and between

neighbouring MJLPOCs the staff of all the five African MJLPOCs are

expected to implement the programmes on an interdisciplinary basis.

E/CHU4/CAPV7/5

Page 6

Moreover, officers in neighbouring MUtPOCs will, as necessary, co

operate very closely in the implementation of projects which cut across Bubregional boundaries* v,Steps are also being taken to ensure that there is ooritinuous exchange of technical, information and experience

among the MULPOC

17* As'the underlying objective is the creation of a subregional oomrnoh market, emphasis in the implementation is on projects whioh seem to have the greatest potential for facilitating the creation of favourable conditions for steady progress towards a subregional common market.

18. For ease of reference, progress made thus far in the implementation

of Category I projects selected for the two-year period 1977-1978, is

summarized in tabular- form for the Lusaka, Ciisenyi, Yaounde, and

Niamey MJLPOCs. Category II projects are listed in Annex II. It is

considered necessary to give some indication of Category II projects

in view-of the financial- implications tliat will be involved When select

ing additional priorities for: the period 1979-1981« Progress ma4e in

the implementation of the Tangiers MtfLPOC programme has not been

summarized in~ tabular form for reasons which are given below.
