This Ministerial Statement presented at the Thirty-ninth session of the Commission/Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. The statement highlighted that, the Ministerial Statement take note of the first AU Biennial Report on the Ouagadougou Outcome (2006), reviewing progress made in fulfilling the recommendations of the 2004 Ouagadougou Plan of Action, and are concerned that: implementation so far has not been comprehensive; employment has not been adequately embedded in national development strategies; and sub-regional and national coordination has not been strong enough as a consequence of human, fiscal and institutional capacity constraints. Overall, we recognize the need to further refine and accelerate implementation strategies at all levels. Given the importance of poverty reduction strategies (PRSs) as the framework for national budget allocation and official development assistance, we acknowledge the necessity of aligning the various processes towards realizing economic and social objectives in our countries, especially the MDGs. We also note the need to integrate the goal of decent employment into the design, implementation and monitoring of the second generation PRSs. Recognizing the urgent situation of post conflict countries, we recommend that the Forum consults closely with the recently established United Nations Peacebuilding Commission.
