UNDP's Africa Management Convenes in Accra (14-17 July 2010)
Just sixty days before the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Summit, UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Africa hosted its annual Regional Management Team Meeting in Ghana (14-17 July), examining the region’s economic and development gains over the past decade and looking into ways of achieving a development breakthrough for Africa.
Seizing the opportunity for "transformational development"
The Regional Management Team Meeting examined both the advances and the challenges that lie ahead for African countries. UNDP and a host of representatives from regional institutions, African governments and UN agencies identified opportunities for putting Africa on a sustainable, equitable and high-growth development path in the context of these new and existing challenges.
The UNDP Administrator Helen Clark attended the conference, two months after a visit of the continent that took her to Mali, Burkina Faso, Tanzania and South Africa, where she was able to witness the progress made on some of the MDGs such as tackling poverty, fighting HIV and promoting women’s empowerment and gender equality.
