Statement by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the Millennium Project Task Force Meeting organized by UNDP. Mr. Amoako, on his statement highlited that, the strong commitment and leadership by the United States to reduce the pain and suffering and the unnecessary deaths caused by this terrible disease should serve as a beacon to other development partners. We in Africa welcome this unilateral commitment, but are deeply concerned that this and other promises made by the wealthiest countries will be broken, as sadly many such promises and commitments have been broken in the past. This concern about broken promises and failed commitments is reflected in an emerging consensus both in and outside Africa of the importance of mutual accountability. The stark reality is that for Africa achieving the MDGs will require making swift progress on mutual accountability. At ECA we have reached the conclusion that to reach the MDGs and to implement the Millennium Compact what is needed is a new framework to be agreed both by us Africans as well as by our development partners to make sure that any new commitments to Africa will be honored. The important thing is that promises are accompanied with a process to back them up.
