Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the launch of the fourth report on assessing regional integration in Africa (ARIA IV)

Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the Launch of the fourth Report on Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA IV). Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, it is now trite to state that Africa’s ultimate development depends on the success of its regional integration efforts. ARIA IV, the subject and object of today’s launch, is on enhancing intra-African trade. ARIA has therefore helped to promote debate on institutional and transboundary issues. It is not only the regional integration landscape that has many pressing concerns with a plethora of actors with common objectives. This is also true of the development landscape. The joint publication of ARIA is a concrete demonstration of this commitment just as was the establishment of the Coalition for Dialogue on Africa (CoDA) by the three institutions. Our hope is that Africa’s regional integration agenda will benefit a great deal from the active interest and advocacy of the CoDA Board. By lending their voices to vital issues of regional integration, the distinguished and influential membership of the CODA Board will contribute to the on-going debate while at the same time spurring greater transboundary cooperation and promoting well functioning institutions of integration.
