Closing Session of the African Development Forum IV: Statement by Mr. K.Y Amoako, executive secretary of the economic commission for Africa/ y cK.Y Amoako.
Statement by Mr. K.Y Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the Closing Session of the African Development Forum IV. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that people said you could not talk about needs for improvements in governance in Africa in quite the candid way we wanted to. And indeed, each of you who has spoken out candidly on these issues has demonstrated courage. Together we have shown that it is about time that we really talk frankly with each other. We cannot argue from rhetoric. We need to argue from facts. ECA's work on governance is a work in progress. Once we digest the rich findings from this Forum and complete work in a few of the countries we have already studied, we will produce our first edition of the African Governance Report. One of the most encouraging things to occur during this project is the inquiry from a number of countries as to why they have not yet been included. we have the onus here in Africa to sharpen our diagnosis of what is needed, to search out whether domestic resources exist for the task, and to formulate needs over and above available domestic resources and talents, if additional help is needed. All this work is ours and we need to treat such work with importance.
