African leaders call for increased ownership and continental integration at the conference of ministers in Addis Ababa
There was a strong call for action to the ministers of finance present for policy makers to do more to push for industrialization. For this they called for more integration, less dependent on others and more ownership of our project. This was in line with the AU's Agenda 2063 vision and action plan, and a need for a common African position leading up to the third Financing for Development conference, COP21 and the Post-2015 social development goals. The session concluded with a rallying call from President Kagame, where he urged the room to develop a sense of urgency. He said, “We have decided where we want to be on 50 years’ time. We seem to have everything we need to achieve a Agenda 2063, except a sense of urgency.”
