ECOSOCC's Organizational Structure

A unique aspect of ECOSOCC (the Economic, Social and Cultural Council) of the African Union is its organizational structure, which is designed to ensure broad representation across different sectors of civil society.

One particularly interesting fact about ECOSOCC is that it includes representatives from professional groups, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and cultural organizations, thereby encompassing a wide spectrum of societal interests and voices.

This inclusivity allows ECOSOCC to function as a bridge, bringing together diverse civil society voices to contribute effectively to policy-making processes at the African Union level, and ensures that a variety of perspectives are considered in shaping the continent’s future.

This structure is vital for fostering comprehensive and inclusive governance across Africa.
