Draft report of the second extra-ordinary session of the Commission /second extraordinary meeting of the conference of ministers

Africa had demonstrated its solidarity and active participation in the intricate negotiations of the special session which adopted the United Nations Programme of Action for African Economic Recovery and Development, 1986-1990. The continent had been able to secure the political willingness of the international community to support its own efforts. While African countries had achieved encouraging results in subregional co-operation and favourable conditions were being created for the realization of an African Economic Community by the beginning of the next century, greater efforts were needed in intra-African co-operation and in the effective use of technical assistance particularly in Africa's priority areas. The serious problems confronting Africa should thus be viewed in the light of its rich potentialities and the strong commitment of its governments to socio-economic development. Accordingly he charged the meeting with the task of probing further into the complex development situation in the region.
