About ECOSOCC
The Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) is an organ of the African Union that gives African civil society a recognised role in shaping continental policy.
ECOSOCC was established in 2004 and is composed of social and professional groups from AU member states. It works through Sectoral Cluster Committees that mirror the African Union Commission's portfolios, advising the Union on areas where civil society expertise is most useful.
