Opening remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN under secretary general and executive secretary of ECA: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 24 March 2011

Opening Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), for the Experts session of the fourth Joint Annual Meetings of the AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks pointed out 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. Closer collaboration within the UN system has come about through the modality of a strengthened Regional Coordination Mechanism for Africa (RCM-Africa) where the African Union Commission now provides the leadership.
