Statement by H.E. Dr. Mapuranga, OAU acting secretary-general: at the seminar on African population and development policy

Abstract

Statement made by H.E. Dr. Mapuranga, OAU acting secretary-general at the seminar on African population and development policy. In his speech he highlighted about one of the most important seminars that the OAU General Secretariat has ever been involved in. It is dealing specifically with the subject of African people themselves, their numerical magnitude, the rate of their reproduction, the consequences of their rapid increase, their collective well r being, and so on and so forth. It is not often that we hold seminars on this subject, although we often talk about factors which affect people's welfare one way or the other.
