Abstract
African Economic Policy experts opened their annual meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia today with the firm belief that the continent can become a pole for global growth and thereby claim the 21st century. United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA, Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, said Africa had maintained a healthy economic growth rate despite slow global growth and political upheaval in North Africa. He outlined three critical issues for structural transformation of Africa as having a clear vision of its development needs, articulating a strong post-2015 development agenda, and generating gainful employment, particularly for the youth who form the bulk of Africa’s population. He said a key catalyst for progress would be regional integration and infrastructure development.
