The Coalition for Dialogue on Africa (CoDA) is a new initiative which has been established as a joint venture of the African Union Commission (AUC), African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). It is an independent forum for free discussion among State and non-State actors. While CoDA is not an intergovernmental programme of the three institutions it aims to leverage their convening power and access to African leaders and policymakers.
