**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the mobilization of resources for economic development, specifically in the context of the United Nations Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. The text mentions "nationaL proJects", "reglonal and sub-regionel lmpacl", and "resounces mobilized" which suggests that the focus is on economic development and resource mobilization. Additionally, the text mentions the role of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and its activities, which further supports the hypothesis that the text is related to economic development.
