NEPAD

The New Partnership for Africa’s Development Agency (NEPAD) is a planning and coordinating agency of the African Union that offers a strategic framework for pan-African socio-economic transformation. NEPAD was created in 2001 to address critical challenges facing the continent, including poverty, development and marginalization of the region. NEPAD is uniquely positioned to provide opportunities for African countries to take full control of their development agenda, work more closely together, build regional governance capacity and cooperate more effectively with international partners.
