Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the twelfth ordinary session of the Executive Council of the African Union Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 27 January 2008
This Statement delivered by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the Twelfth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that; Africa continues to govern itself better in keeping with the aspirations of NEPAD and supported in many instances by the instrumentality of the African Peer Review Mechanism. Of course, better governance and increasingly stronger institutions do not mean a lack of problems but rather indicate that disagreements will be addressed openly and resolved peacefully. We should not be discouraged even when there are lapses but should instead see such occurrences as part of the growing pains of a democratic dispensation. Without a doubt, the international community has placed Africa's concerns squarely on its agenda and pledged support for its development efforts. This commitment to up-scale the quality and quantity of official development assistance has been demonstrated in several ways and acknowledged as such by African leaders. This Executive Council will be pleased to know that the United Nations has maintained its efforts to build coherence in its programmes undertaken in support of African development by revitalizing its Regional Consultation Meeting.
