Planning for Accelerated Progress and Performance: statement by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary

Statement by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary at the experts of the Conference of African ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. Dr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, the climate for development cooperation has improved markedly since we last met. This was first evident in the World Trade Organization's meetings in Doha, Qatar, last November, launching a three-year "development round" of negotiations. This improving climate continued at the UN's Financing for Development Conference in Monterrey, Mexico, in March, with announcements of innovations in the quality of finance and several pledges to increase the quantity of finance. NEPAD is an important framework for Africa's development. It does not replace national sovereignty. NEPAD embraces achieving the Millennium Development Goals, planning comprehensive Poverty Reduction Strategies and implementing those strategies through solid public expenditure management.
