"The Africa We Want'' not an unrealistic dream or wish, says AU's Ouattara

Abstract

Realizing “The Africa We Want’’ should not be difficult if the whole continent collectively works together to transform the dream into reality, says African Union Commission’s Space Science Expert and Coordinator for GMES and Africa. In a keynote address at the ongoing AfricaGIS 2017 conference in Addis Ababa, an expert in the African Union’s Human Resources, Science and Technology Division, said; “The Africa We Want is not an unrealistic dream or wish. It is not a series of promises.” The conference is being held under the theme; Geospatial and Statistical Information Imperatives for the “Africa We Want”.
