Governance for a Progressing Africa: Opening Statement at the Second Africa Governance Forum by Dr. K. Y. Amoako UN Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA
Statement by Dr. K. Y. Amoako UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the "Governance for a Progressing Africa" Opening Statement at the Second Africa Governance Forum. Dr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, The spread of information technology, the prospects for dramatic improvements in health, the rise of civil society and the gender revolution, and the rise of more responsive and progressive governments are all good reasons why we can plan our future on this continent with extra boldness. Accountable and transparent systems, political liberalization, the rule of law and respect for human rights are the bedrock of a democratic state. However, democracy is not sufficient to assure the governance structure a modern state requires. In collaboration with our partners, particularly UNDP in the context of the Special Initiative on Africa, ECA plans to build on its past work in promoting the capable state where we have focused on advocacy, advisory services and capacity building for policy analysis and economic management.
