African Development Forum 2000 AIDS: Opening remarks on African development forum 2000 by K. Y. Amoako, executive secretary of ECA
Opening Remarks on African Development Forum 2000 by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of ECA at the African Development Forum 2000 AIDS: The Greatest Leadership Challenge. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, this is a battle for our continent’s survival. We carry inside each and every one of us the potential to increase the problem or the potential to help solve the problem. This is not a policy issue: this is ourselves, our families, our communities, our hopes. And this is our decisive moment. Leadership is our topic. Leadership at all levels: within the family, the community, the towns, the provinces, civil society, the churches and mosques, the elder’s meeting places, business, labour and, uppermost, at the national political level. Leadership which is the boldest, most persistent, most insightful, compassionate, forceful, cooperative and imaginative we have ever had. Leadership to move into the open, to be in solidarity with those who carry HIV/AIDS, who face the most dramatic possible challenges, who have value to us, just as we must have value to them.
