Opening remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN unders secretary general and executive secretary of ECA
Opening Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, this joint meeting continues to attest to the close partnership which has been forged between the AU and ECA since 2006 to address the development challenges of our continent in a coherent manner. Its importance is further underscored by the resolution of the Kampala Summit of the AU, which recognizes the joint meeting as a major forum for dialogue, consultation, policy formulation and consensus building on Africa’s economic and social agenda. The imperative of bringing about the transformation of African economies is a pointer to the theme of this year’s Conference – Governing Development in Africa. This theme is aimed first at putting the whole issue of development back on the governance agenda in Africa. As our Annual Report to be submitted to this Conference shows, ECA continued to work across its service lines towards the realization of Africa’s development agenda and vision in various programmatic areas. Working with key partners, we organized the seventh edition of the African Development Forum in full collaboration with AUC and AfDB and provided technical support to African delegations at key multilateral forums including G20 Summits and United Nations Conferences such as the MDG Review Summit.
