Global coalition for Africa: statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN under-secretary-general and executive secretary of ECA
This Statement delivered by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the conference of Global Coalition for Africa. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, The Global Coalition for Africa was established at a time when Africa was mired in crisis of such scale that the 1980s was described as a lost decade for the continent. The crisis was of economic, governance, political and social dimensions and was of such a scale that it required concerted action by Africa and its development partners to delve into the causes of the condition of the continent with a view to addressing identified challenges. The Global Coalition for Africa played its part in helping Africa to identify key issues and articulate required responses. Accordingly, a regional and forward looking perspective is required to address issues of a transboundary nature like environmental sustainability, equitable access to shared water resources and disease control.
