Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN under secretary general and executive secretary of ECA : 9th session of the regional consultation mechanism
Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, We are meeting at a time of serious concern about the global economic outlook. Our apprehensions about the impact of high food and oil prices on African countries have now been compounded by worries on how the global financial crisis will impact on African economies, which have grown steadily in the recent past and seemed on the cusp of sustained economic takeoff. The theme of this RCM – A Coordinated Multispectral Response to the Food Crisis Challenge in Africa - which places appropriate emphasis on an action-oriented approach to the various international initiatives that have been adopted is therefore quite apt. The three pillars of United Nations work, peace and security, development and human rights have particular relevance for Africa because they are at the heart of continental aspirations for socio-economic progress.
