As part of its charge to advance the concept of a comprehensive approach to peace-building and coordinated support for countries emerging from conflict, the United Nations' Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) established its first advisory groups on African countries in 2002 and 2003, focusing respectively on Guinea-Bissau and Burundi.
