Conference of African Ministers: Ministerial statement

Ministerial Statement at the conference of African Ministers. The statement highlighted that, Poverty reduction requires growth and growth requires expanded markets and much better access to the international as well as continental markets. Trade is a vital engine of growth. We wish therefore to underscore the importance for the continent, of a fair, non-discriminatory, predictable, multilateral rules-based trading system. Efforts to draw on and benefit from the expertise of Africans in the Diaspora must be stepped up alongside work to improve skills, knowledge and experience at home. In that context, we commend the work being accomplished by the Collaborative African Budget Reform Initiative (CABRI) to build capacity in public financial management. Recognizing the crucial importance of reliable statistics for gauging and monitoring progress toward the MDGs, we will give greater attention to the development of strong statistical capacity at both the national and regional levels and urge donors to do likewise. There is a need for closer attention on the African side about ways to improve aid management. While specific conditions and challenges vary from country to country, our countries share many of the problems that arise from unpredictable and short-term ODA flows, changeable partner policies and practices, and lack of flexibility in the types of aid instruments in use.
