The aim of this seminar is to raise the knowledge about the role of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), an African Union strategic framework for pan-African socio-economic development, as a strong partner with the United Nations on addressing the social, economic and political challenges and opportunities facing the continent.
The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), is both a vision and a policy framework for Africa in the twenty-first century. NEPAD is a radically new intervention, spearheaded by African leaders, to address critical challenges facing the continent. NEPAD provides unique opportunities for African countries to take full control of their development agenda, to work more closely together, and to cooperate more effectively with international partners. NEPAD manages a number of programmes and projects in six thematic areas; Human Development, Cross-cutting Issues, including Gender, Capacity Building and ICT, Agriculture and Food Security, Climate Change and National Resource Management, Regional Integration and Infrastructure, and Economic and Corporate Governance.
