Planning for Accelerated Progress and Performance: Statement by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary
Statement by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary ECA at the twenty-first meeting of the Committee of Experts of the Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, the climate for development cooperation has improved markedly since we last met. This was first evident in the World Trade Organization's meetings in Doha, Qatar, last November, launching a three-year "development round" of negotiations. This improving climate continued at the UN's Financing for Development Conference in Monterrey, Mexico, in March, with announcements of innovations in the quality of finance and several pledges to increase the quantity of finance. Our sustainable development emphasis is reflected in our work on the inter-linkages among population, agriculture and environment. We are working on monitoring the conditions for sustainable development and are providing advisory services in this area. NEPAD is an important framework for Africa's development. It does not replace national sovereignty. But it does reinforce progress and makes the consequences of domestic choices more important. It is not 'one size fits all', as it gives very clear recognition and embraces the situations in which our countries find themselves.
