“Making Aid Work Better for Africa” : statement by K.Y. Amoako executive secretary Economic Commission for Africa houses of parliament, United Kingdom
The Commission's back-of-the-envelope calculations lead us to believe that if we in Africa and our international partners had acted two decades ago on the issues I have outlined, we would have had many fewer than eight million killed in conflict, far less than the 12 million orphaned by AIDS, and certainly far less than the 30 million who have fallen into poverty during this period. Africa has improved and there is serious leadership at the national and regional levels. Yet our democracies in Africa are fragile and we cannot afford for them to fail.
