General Assembly's President message on the occasion of Africa industrialization day

Abstract

The message commemorating Africa Industrialization Day on 20 November emphasizes the critical importance of industrialization for Africa's sustainable development. It highlights the continent's vast human and natural resources, which, if harnessed effectively, can drive economic and social progress. Africa's developmental issues necessitate continued international support. The United Nations, particularly UNIDO, has played a pivotal role in mobilizing global cooperation for Africa's industrialization. The 1995 theme, Human Resource Development, underscores the need for education and training to empower individuals and economies. As Africa strives to realize its potential, the international community must reaffirm its commitment to solidarity and partnership in fostering the continent's growth and prosperity.
