Ministers to discuss African-owned framework for development partnership
African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development meet to discuss a single African-led initiative to mediate partnership between Africa and its partners that will define the way forward in Africa’s development. The ministers will meet for the Ninth Session of the Joint Conference of African Ministers of Finance and Ministers of Planning and Economic Development under the theme "Compact for African Recovery: Operationalizing the Millennium Partnership for the African Recovery Program". Discussions will focus on the Millennium Plan (MAP) -- an initiative proposed last year by Presidents Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria, Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, and Thabo Mbeki of South Africa. With the MAP emerging as the agreed African initiative for development, bringing together all partnership initiatives within a single framework, the Compact is designed to provide technical and analytical support to the MAP. The MAP and Compact both focus on selected key priority areas intended to enable Africa to achieve accelerated growth and development.
