The Economic Committee Meeting of The Global Coalition for Africa: Opening remarks by K. Y. Amoako, executive secretary, ECA

Abstract

Opening Remarks by K. Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary, ECA at the Economic Committee Meeting of The Global Coalition for Africa. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, Africa, in the African’s view, is the glass half-full and half empty. A considerable improvement over a few years ago, but certainly a continent whose overall development future is still in the balance. For those unfortunate enough to face the empty part of development, the stakes of peace, rigorous government and pluralism are not yet clear enough. Indeed, the pace of progress in some of the so-called success states is still too insecure to prevent fears of backsliding.
