Opening remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN under secretary general and executive secretary of ECA
Opening Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA. Mr. janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, The imperative of bringing about the transformation of African economies is a pointer to the theme of this year’s Conference – Governing Development in Africa. This theme is aimed first and foremost at putting the whole issue of development back on the governance agenda in Africa. The governance of development would also need to factor in the regional dimension of development as well as international trends. While paying necessary attention to processes at the national level, African states also need to incorporate regional and transboundary cooperation into their policymaking processes. Closer collaboration within the UN system has come about through the modality of a strengthened Regional Coordination Mechanism for Africa (RCM-Africa) where the African Union Commission now provides the leadership.
