Africa urged to investment robust social policies to accelerate continental transformation ECA_OFFICIAL: Africa

Africa should invest in the design and implementation of effective social policies that address specific challenges on the continent in order to achieve sustainable development, Economic Commission for Africa, Acting Executive Secretary, Antonio Pedro has challenged researchers.

Mr. Pedro noted that the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war and the climate change impacts, have shown the crucial role of social policy in addressing the health care challenges and in supporting the society and the economy during turmoil. In addition, the ECA Gender, Poverty and Social Policy Division, whose focus is achieving inclusive and equitable sustainable human and social development in Africa has generated new evidence on economically vulnerable populations and provided support to improve economic recovery and resilience in African countries. This work is in response to an increase in poverty and vulnerability among member states as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The biggest lesson from Covid 19, as well as the current debt and climate crisis is that Africa has to build preparedness and resilience to better cope with shocks from a less dependent position,” said Ms. Wanyeki, underscoring the necessity of robust social policies and the need for synergies between economic policies and social policies.
