The Secretary-General - Message To The "Africities Summit" |
|
|
|
Yaoundé, Cameroon
It is a great pleasure to send my greetings to everyone who has gathered for this Third Africities Conference. Your presence underscores your recognition of the magnitude and urgency of the urban challenge facing Africa. And the impressive turn-out of mayors, government officials, representatives of the private sector and civil society, as well as a number of development partners, shows you understand that this challenge can be tackled only by collective engagement. I would like to commend the Municipal Development Partnership for its vigorous efforts and leadership in support of local authorities in Africa.

|
|
|
Entebbe, Uganda
I am very excited to be back in Uganda. Last year I was here in April when I had the privilege to address the commonwealth meeting on Africa’s urbanization crisis.
It is an honor and a privilege for me to be here with you today at this Commonwealth Youth Forum
I wish to congratulate the Commonwealth Youth Council for organizing this youth forum which will provide a platform for young people to contribute to the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Heads of Government agendas. I am pleased that this forum also provides an independent platform for youth representatives to consider their agenda at the same time as the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting.
