In 1998, the five United Nations regional commissions continued their efforts to promote economic and social development throughout their areas. Three met for regular sessions during the year at their headquarters: the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) (Bangkok, Thailand); the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) (Geneva); and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) (Santiago, Chile), which marked its fiftieth anniversary. Neither the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) nor the Economic Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) held regular sessions in 1998. Both were scheduled to meet next in May 1999. In celebration of its fortieth anniversary in April/May, ECA convened the International Conference on African Women and Economic Development: Investing in our Future.
