Board of Economists
The Board of Economists (BoE) is established as a permanent economic-intelligence and macro-structural authority entrusted with the care and scientific, analytical, and systemic monitoring of economic rationalism across the entirety of GECCA’s multilateral ecosystems and structures.
Standing as the co-custodian of economic legitimacy, the Board of Economists shall represent and pursue economic truth, structural coherence, and long-term systemic equilibrium with GECCA’s economic and multilateral ecosystems.
The BoE constitute the highest epistemic and structural economic body within GECCA, entrusted with safeguarding the policy, scientific and ethical coherence of the frameworks, instruments, and organization’s partnerships and strategic investments.
The Board of Economists shall exercise exclusive competence over the definition and continuous refinement of GECCA’s macroeconomic doctrine, development paradigms, and structural economic philosophy.
The Board shall ensure economic modeling, stress-testing and structural evaluation of African and foreign Afrocentric economic architectures proposed, endorsed or implemented under GECCA auspices.
The BoE shall identify systemic risks, structural imbalances, dependency dynamics, and intergenerational vulnerabilities arising from policies, partnerships, and financing arrangements.
The BoE shall act as the custodian of economic rationality, structural soundness, and long-term equilibrium, representing neither interests nor constituencies, but the objective discipline of economic science.
The Board of Economists shall issue Formal Economic Opinions, which may be declaratory, conditional, or restrictive in nature.
The Board of Economists shall ensure any major GECCA’s economic framework, including but not limited to sovereign and global Afrocentric investment compacts; industrial, financial, trade, monetary, extractive, and green transition architectures; as well as large-scale development corridors and strategic economic frameworks.
In accordance with requirements and crucial imperatives of the Board of Economists within GECCA's strategic frameworks, their Formal Economic Opinions on structural unsoundness, systemic risk, or long-term extractive imbalance shall be binding in effect and shall preclude final adoption of the ongoing frameworks unless duly rectified amended.
All over the exercise of its mandate, the Board of Economists shall be fully insulated from political instruction and influence, diplomatic negotiation and pressure, operational and programmatic management, as well as from financial, corporate, and sectoral interests.
Members of the Board of Economists shall act in their personal professional capacity and shall owe their primary duty exclusively to the structural economic and scientific integrity of GECCA.
The economic determinations of the Board of Economists shall never be override, dilute, or substitute through political or private interest means, whether through advisory opinions, geopolitical relevance or considerations, or consensus-based recommendations.
Therefore, even though the High Advisory Board shall provide orientations, strategic counsel and institutional wisdom to GECCA’s high leadership, the Board of Economists, by contrast, shall exercise arbitration over economic structures, grounded in scientific rigor, professional conscience, and long-term systemic analysis.
The BoE shall ensure that all GECCA-endorsed economic engagements:
- Avoid the reproduction and perpetuation of dependency and asymmetrical extraction;
- Foster economic aggregation, sharpen the private sectors’ democratization, strengthen sovereignty’s industrialization, and assert the localization of value creation within African continent;
- Underpin structural transformation and preserve Africa’s macroeconomic agency in a dynamic and efficiently operating multipolar global order;
- Remain viable, resilient, credible, sovereign and impactful across generations.
In this capacity, the Board of Economists shall function as the mainstay of economic conscience and structural immune system of GECCA.
The Board of Economists is neither an advisory board, nor a governing authority, but a strategic economic-architecture body, operating above negotiation, beyond political cycles, and in service of global Afrocentric industrial conscience, multipolar prosperity, and economic sovereignty of Africa.
