  • Consider any other policy and strategic matters related to AFRA; in particular fund raising for the implementation of cooperative projects and issues pertaining to regional cooperation and to Technical Cooperation amongst Developing Countries (TCDC), partnership and regional integration, notably of AFRA into African Union (AU) Programmes.
