How will the Initiative help Africa surmount its development crisis?
With its differentiated and flexible approach, the Initiative aims to help African countries that are affected by conflict as well as boost development efforts in the majority of African countries. The Initiative will help Africa strengthen its capacity to build peace and resolve conflicts through the Organization of African Unity and also through a stronger civil society. With its emphasis on basic education and health, the Initiative will support African efforts to accelerate the creation of the basic conditions for more rapid development. With its activities in such areas as food and water security, resource mobilization and governance, the Initiative will also help African countries improve the livelihoods of their people, increase their productivity, enhance the climate for investment and establish the necessary conditions for sustainable economic and social development.
