Report of the working party of the whole of the standing committee on industry and natural resources
1963
The Standing Committee on Industry and Natural Resources was convened to meet on 12 December 1962 in accordance with resolution 43 (IV) of the fourth session of the Commission. Since the number of countries represented was not sufficient to constitute a quorum, it was decided to meet as a Working Party of the Whole of the Standing Committee. The working party discussed the need for a general approach to the development of strategic industries in Africa on regional or sub-regional levels on the basis of the secretariat's study “Industrial Growth in Africa”. The working party noted with satisfaction the studies made by the secretariat on the following industries: iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, the engineering industries, chemicals and fertilizers and textiles. The working party also attached high importance to the rapid development of industries providing energy and basic building materials, and it was noted that the secretariat had plans for studies of these industries which, in the first instance, would be brought before other ECA bodies.
