The ECA is building a database of African expertise, including
expertise of the African diaspora

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) is co-ordinating activities
related to the development of a database on African experts and the
diaspora, and making it available for access and utilisation by
member States, development partners and others.

The database is believed to constitute an essential information base
that users could access to identify the trained workforce required to
establish and maintain research networks, virtual learning networks,
policy reforms, etc. This process is planned to start with the
collection of bio data from African experts including those in the
diaspora.
