African regional conference on population and development ministerial segment: Speech By Dr. Carlos Lopes, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA

Speech by Dr. Carlos Lopes UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the Africa Regional Conference on Population and Development Ministerial Segment. Mr. Lopes, highlighted on his remarks that, Africa continues to discover vast mineral resource deposits in the mining, energy and industrial sectors with potential wealth that can be used for social development. For example, Ethiopia’s prioritization of the exploration of its geothermal energy potential is an indication of this. Africa’s growing middle class and rapid urbanization has implications for increased income and domestic spending. Africa has to grow with equity, and must conduct economic production and growth, and manage its population and demographic changes along with inclusive and sustainable social development. Africa should tell its own story and develop its own narrative which is based on the current realities and on the aspirations of its people to develop. To achieve this end, we will require the creation of better statistical systems that make it possible to ensure that data sources used to back our policy analysis are supported by verifiable facts and figures and not estimations and mere formulations.
