Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the Thirteenth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the Africa. Mr. Janeeh, on his remarks highlighted that, the recent encouraging economic performance of Africa is being threatened by global economic emergencies in the food and energy markets and the prospect of stagflation in key industrial economies. These developments are closely linked with the negative effects of climate change and can undermine political stability and the scaling-up of efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The theme of our current gathering, which is “Meeting the MDGs on Water and Sanitation”. In addition to its important role in power, transportation and irrigation, water is an essential requirement for sanitation and health in households and human settlements. The issue of water is also linked to peace and security because competition for scarce water resources sometimes fuels conflicts and leads to the forced displacement of people.
