Ministerial statement: third joint annual meetings of the AU conference of ministers of economy and finance and ECA conference of Africa ministers of finance, planning and economic development

This Ministerial statement presented at the third Joint Annual Meetings of the AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and ECA Conference of Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. The ministers on their statement noted that, they acknowledge that the theme of the Third Joint Conference- Promoting high-level sustainable growth to reduce unemployment and poverty - is both timely and pertinent, especially in scaling up efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. They note that 10 years since the adoption of the Millennium Declaration, progress towards the MDGs in Africa has been mixed. They take note with satisfaction of progress towards meeting some of the targets, especially in the areas of net primary school enrolment, childhood immunization, combating the spread of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis and gender parity. They are grateful to AUC and ECA for successfully convening the Third Joint Annual Meetings of the AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and the ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.
