Summary
The present report responds to General Assembly resolution 58/233 of
23 December 2003, in which the Assembly requested the Secretary-General to
submit a comprehensive report on the implementation of the resolution at its fiftyninth
session. The report highlights the policy measures and actions taken by African
countries and organizations in the implementation of the New Partnership for
Africa’s Development (NEPAD), the response of the international community and the
support of the United Nations system during the past year. Much progress has been
made by African countries in developing sectoral policy frameworks, in the
implementation of specific programmes and projects and in the earmarking of
financial allocations to selected NEPAD sectoral priorities. At the same time, a series
of international actions that will potentially benefit the implementation of NEPAD
were taken or proposed by the international community, while the United Nations
system continues to provide support on a broad range of issues. As the
implementation of NEPAD moves forward, a strengthened partnership is needed, one
in which African countries deepen their commitment to the priorities of NEPAD
while its development partners take a combination of well-targeted measures to
bolster the implementation of NEPAD.
