This statement addressed by K. Y. Amoako UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the 70th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity. Dr Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, the causes of conflict, particularly its linkages with poverty; the economic consequences of war; and the imperatives for coordinated and holistic action for post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction. conflict is inextricably related to poverty, particularly the lack of human capital, which influences the probability of a civil war. conflict is related to the inequitable sharing of valuable natural resources. This failure has led to a number of conflicts and exacerbated many others. We need to end ongoing conflicts, prevent new ones, build a sustained peace and rebuild countries that have been in conflict. The international community has not been particularly well prepared for these tasks, and frankly, neither have we here in Africa.
