Opening address at the thirty first session of the commission/twenty second meeting of the conference of ministers

This opening address delivered by K. Y. Amoako Executive Secretary, ECA at The Thirty-First Session of The Commission Twenty-Second Meeting of the conference of Ministers. Mr. K. Y. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that Africans are resilient, and against the odds of much of global opinion, they are coming out of economic depression. Sacrifice and diligence, risk-taking and prudent management, leadership and improved governance and fostering the private and civil society sectors have all played a role. He added, only the uninformed can miss a new purposefulness in much of Africa and only those too focused on the negative cannot see the better results accruing to Africa. He referred the Conference as a capstone of nearly a yearlong effort to position ECA to seize the opportunities, take on the responsibilities and to act with far more effectiveness and impact.
