Promoting International Action to Provide Global Public Goods: opening remarks by Mr. K.Y. Amoako UN under-secretary-general and executive secretary of the economic commission for Africa
Opening Remarks by Mr. K.Y. Amoako UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) Delivered by Josephine Ouedraogo, Officer-In-Charge of the Commission at the forum of Promoting International Action to Provide Global Public Goods. Mr. amoako on his remarks highlighted that, we in Africa, obviously seek to benefit from a global system that robustly works to maintain and enforce peace and security. Given our daily fight against the numerous devastating diseases that are burdening our families and governments as well as circumscribing our economic growth prospects, we seek to gain greatly from any upscaling in international efforts to control the spread of communicable diseases. With such a rich natural heritage, it is to our advantage to support international collective action to protect, preserve and exploit our commons - our biodiversity, forests, and natural resources. Without this, the chances of sustainable development in the region are slim. ECA is strongly committed to collaborating with all of you in promoting advocacy for regional and global collective action so that we can make the Taskforce's action plan for increasing the provision and impact of Global Public Goods a reality in the near future.
