Regional Economic Communities (RECs) provide an important contribution to poverty reduction. RECs are essential building blocks for Africa’s trade and economic integration. The focus of RECs’ work varies from region to region - depending on context they play an important role coordinating work to reduce barriers to trade, develop regional infrastructure, promote trade, and maintain peace and security.
