Opening remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN unders secretary general and executive secretary of ECA
Opening Remarks by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the conference of African Ministers. 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 primarily at putting the whole issue of development back on the governance agenda in Africa. The governance and management of development in Africa would need to be informed by lessons on successful state intervention from other parts of the world as well as a clear understanding of its limitations given the pitfalls of the past. 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 trans-boundary cooperation into their policy-making 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.
