dc.description.abstractThis welcoming address delivered by Omar Kabbaj, President of the African Development Bank Group, at the Opening Session of the 2003 ADB Annual Meetings Symposium on “Poverty Reduction, Social Development, and the Millennium Development Goals in Africa: Are we Making Progress on the Ground?”. Mr. Kabbaj, on his remarks highlighted that, the issue of poverty reduction and social development, and the progress that Africa is making towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs,) are clearly at the center of our development agenda. This is reflected by the fact that many of our countries have placed poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth as the main objectives of their development efforts, as evidenced in their Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). The Millennium Development Goals have enormous import for both the developed and the developing world. They represent our common aspirations of human betterment as they aim to reduce income-poverty and its social manifestations, including poor health and inadequate education opportunities. Africa – excluding North and South Africa -- is the one region in the world that is unlikely to achieve the MDGs.en
