| dc.description | The 13th Regional Coordination Mechanism for Africa (RCM-Africa), which took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 14-15 November 2012, has concluded its deliberations on the post-2015 development agenda for Africa, and the role of UN and AU organs in shaping and implementing this agenda. During the two-day meeting, participants sought more productive ways through which UN agencies and organizations working in Africa could coordinate their efforts on concretizing Africa’s perspectives and priorities on the post-2015 development debate. Deliberation focused on key issues that are not adequately addressed in the current MDG framework but that should be factored into the post-2015 agenda including growth and transformation; inequality; domestic resource mobilization; enablers of development; and the inclusion of climate change on all development interventions among others. Achievements included the provision of technical support to the African Union Commission (AUC), the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA), the Regional Economic Communities (RECs), and the successful implementation of the capacity of capacity building programs. Challenges enumerated included limited resources, varied mandates of clusters, inadequate intra and inter-cluster coordination, and the need for more AUC ownership. Opening session speech of Mr. Jan Eliasson UN Deputy Secretary-General stated that it is essential that Africa’s voice is heard, and the continent’s needs and priorities are considered, both in the post-2015 process and in the development of the Sustainable Development Goals agreed by Member States at Rio+20. | en |
