Opening remarks by Mr. K.Y. Amoako, United Nations under-Secretary general of the Economic Commission for Africa
This Opening remarks delivered by Mr. K.Y. Amoako, United Nations Under-Secretary General of the Economic Commission for Africa. Dr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, Policy analysis in Africa is a growing business. Policy leaders can now be found in all sectors, not only governments. Indeed, business, civil society, media and academia are concerned about policy. This Forum well represents the diverse, rapidly growing policy community of Africa. Policy makers across Africa have told us that they would like a more robust policy community, particularly to help leaders face a sometimes-overwhelming global economy. the largest generation of youth in Africa's history is alive today. Yet, too many policy leaders tend to see the generation of youth as a problem to be solved. Moreover, indeed that generation must survive the threat of HIV/AIDS, lack of educational opportunities and lack of employment opportunities.
