==Objectives==

The general objective of LAREQ is to play an active role in the development and application of modern [[Macroeconomicmacroeconomic model|macroeconomic modeling]]ing in [[Developing country|developing countries]] in [[Africa]].<ref>[http://www.lareq.com/statuts-lareq.ws The Statutes of LAREQ]</ref>

This general goal can be broken down into two more specific objectives:
