    Introduction:

    At the 10th Summit of Heads of States and Government, in Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), in 2002, the decision was made to adopt a protocol on the establishment of a Network of Parliamentarians of Central Africa. The Projet de Renforcement des Capacités du Réseau des Parlementaires de l’Afrique Centrale (REPAC) covers eleven countries – members of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS).   At its 37th Regular Meeting, in May 2007, the Executive Board approved a grant of US$ 1.5 million to REPAC.

    Project Description:

    The main goal of the REPAC project was to enable parliamentarians to foster regional integration and poverty reduction initiatives through a regional platform of dialogue and consultation between the authorities of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), and the people of the Central African Region.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.
