Abstract

Opening statement by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary at the twenty-second meeting of the committee of experts of the conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. The deliberations of the second meeting of the Committee on Human Development and Civil Society focused on the theme: "Participation and Partnership in Africa's Development". The meeting underscored the importance of participation and partnership as the basis for addressing issues related to ethics and accountability in public service delivery; HIV/AIDS; and the special development needs of countries emerging from conflict. A framework for enhancing and promoting participation and partnerships was developed, which will. among other things, create modalities for exchanging "best practices" within as well as outside the continent.
