Statement by K. Y. Amoako
This statement delivered by K. Y. Amoako Under Secretary-General, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the Conference of Planning Ministers and Resident Representatives. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, the timing of this Conference practically at the mid-point of the last decade of the Twentieth Century gives it great significance. Africa continues to face acute challenges. There is not a single country, which can afford to be complacent. the new world order poses grave difficulties for countries and communities that fail to adjust rapidly enough in response to shifts in global patterns of demand and supply. There are useful lessons that we can learn from the dynamic economies of South-East Asia, which have traveled from wide-spread absolute poverty to a measure of universal social well-being along the road of export-led growth and progressive integration into the world economy. This is also the Office of the UNDP Resident Representative. We are opening an exciting new chapter in our relationship.
