Sixty Third Meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity: Statement by K.Y. Amoako, UN Under-Secretary General, Executive Secretary, ECA
Statement by K.Y. Amoako, UN Under-Secretary General, Executive Secretary, ECA at the Sixty Third Meeting of The Council of Ministers of The Organization of African Unity. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, the primary focus of the session is on administrative and financial matters of the OAU, the Council has always taken keen interest and provided guidance on the important development issues and challenges facing the continent. All of our development efforts will come to naught in the absence of security, peace and stability throughout the continent, within and between our countries. The restoration of security, peace and stability, and good governance in war-torn countries is not an easy task, however. Africa's capability to mobilize not only external, but even domestic resources as well, will be enhanced greatly if a comprehensive solution is finally found to its external debt burden which, on average, consumes in the order of 20 per cent of export earnings to service it. Complementarity and collaboration should not only need be reflected at the level our substantive programmes; but we also need to harmonize the institutional frameworks of sectoral and legislative councils and commissions.
