| What is NEPAD? The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) was initially developed and articulated by a small group of African leaders in 2001 and formally integrated into the African Union in July 2004. NEPAD is African owned and led and represents a long-term agenda for Africa. Over time it seeks to change the terms of engagement between Africa and the international community. Its work aims to: Eradicate poverty Place African countries, both individually and collectively, on a path of sustainable growth and development Halt the marginalisation of Africa in the globalisation process and enhance its full and beneficial integration into the global economy; Accelerate the empowerment of women
The NEPAD framework is founded on mutual accountability, based on the idea that if Africa is going to achieve the goals set out in NEPAD, both African governments and the international community must meet the commitments that they have made. This includes African governments’ commitments through NEPAD to improve their performance on economic and political governance, the G8’s commitments in the Africa Action Plan and international commitments elsewhere.
