During the discussion concerning the contents of the ECA, it appeared that the "philosophy" of the ECA, the approach to accessibility, is the most important part, but that criteria or standards cannot be underestimated.

For the time being, the ECA was limited to the built environment and this should be visible at the opening of the website.

JosE Maria ECa de Queiroz[zhooze´ murE´u A´su di kArooz´] Pronunciation Key, 1845–1900, Portuguese writer.

 The ECA stack
Here's the standard disclaimer--I am not a medical doctor or a pharmacist (I'm just a guy with a webpage).  I am providing information to those who could benefit from the use of this supplement.  The ECA stack is a potent stimulant that can be dangerous if abused or taken by someone who cannot tolerate it.
Aspirin is supposed to add to the stack's effectiveness by decreasing the body's natural resistance to the stimulant effects.  The more I've researched, however, the less I'm convinced that it is necessary or helpful.  I can only say from personal experience that aspirin seems to make little or no difference.
Someone with heart problems or high blood pressure should stay away from the ECA stack.  I also would not recommend it for anyone under 19 or 20.  I don't think its a good idea for teenagers in their growing years to use it.

 Globalization - OECD - Export Credit Agencies - Worldpress.org
But as the issues behind globalization continue to divide the world, ECAs might find that their normally secretive operations are being subjected to public scrutiny.
Advocates of ECA reform have rallied around the principal of "common, higher standards." The United States Congress took an important first step toward reform in 1992, when it required that the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the country’s ECA) use environmental assessment procedures when deciding whether to fund a project.
For now, whether or not ECA reform can be enacted will probably depend on the tenacity of the NGOs and the amount of public awareness they can raise.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Europe's super-rocket rides high
It was the ECA's first flight following its disastrous maiden outing in 2002, when the rocket was destroyed as it veered out of control over the ocean.
The ECA should substantially reduce the costs of lofting spacecraft, down from between $30-40,000 per kg to $15-20,000 per kg.
This caused the nozzle to deform and sent the ECA off course; a self-destruct mechanism brought the rocket down far out into the Atlantic Ocean.

KAMPALA, 21 May 2004 (IRIN) - The UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) said on Friday that poverty levels on the continent had increased by 43 percent over the last 10 years, with women making up to 80 percent of the people living on less than a dollar a day.
Josephine Ouedraogo, director of the ECA's African Centre for Gender and Development, told a news conference at a meeting of economic experts and academicians in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, that the situation was being compounded by high rates of maternal mortality, which, she said, stood at 940 deaths per 100,000 birth.
Ouedraogo said that in spite the fact that women constituted half the population in Africa, provided 70 percent of the food and accounted for two thirds of production, they were not taken into consideration in national economic and social development statistical frameworks.
