Foreword

Africa’s commitment to improved economic management has resulted in significant progress in many fronts over the last half decade. The African Union Commission and the Economic Commission for Africa accompanied the process through their facilitation, tracking and reporting functions. Main issues and outcomes of these functions are presented in key publications such as the Economic Report on Africa. The Economic Report on Africa 2009 (ERA 2009) is focused on “Developing African Agriculture Through Regional Value Chains”.
