Mission

The mission of the Library, as a central catalyst for organizational effectiveness, is to continuously enrich and add value to the Commission's knowledge ecosystem, by providing reliable access to high quality resources and services to staff members and other stakeholders, wherever they may be. In 2010, the Library joined the ICT, Science and Technology Division (ISTD) with a new mandate giving it a new name, "Library and Information Management Services".

The Library is committed to the creation, application, preservation and dissemination of the knowledge in order to facilitate the commission, to serve as an integrated information service and resource center for Africa. Driven by the ECA Knowledge Management Strategy, Knowledge and Library Services addresses 3 aspects of performance management:

• Influence - ECA research & Statistics influence policy, cited in media & scholarly publications
• Credibility & Trust – ECA research and statistics are relevant & consistently high quality, effective facilitation for exchange & access to Knowledge
• Accountability and Learning – Records (Audit recommendations & Business process) systematically managed, Carbon foot print reduction, development of learning systems
