Among others, ECOSOCC is mandated to contribute, through advice, to the effective translation of the AU’s objectives, principles and policies into concrete programmes, as well as evaluating those programmes.

The council also promotes human rights, the rule of law, good governance, democratic principles, gender equality and child rights while supporting the efforts of institutions engaged in reviewing the future of Africa and forging pan-African values in order to enhance an African social model and way of life.
