Democracy, peace essential for Africa's development says ECA's Hamdok
Africa needs to address governance, democracy, peace and security issues as prerequisites for its development, Economic Commission for Africa’s Acting Executive Secretary, addressing the 30th Ordinary Session of the African Union Executive Council, which precedes the AU Summit. Mr. Hamdok said there was near consensus around the importance of governance, democracy, peace and security for development, as well as the potential of development to enhance both governance, democracy peace and security. It is therefore not by chance that issues of governance, democracy, peace and security rank high in Agenda 2063 and Agenda 2030 with a clear linkage to development. The two agendas, recognize that the achievement of structural transformation and sustainable development is simply not possible in the absence of well governed, peaceful and secure environments.
