| dc.description | African Development Forum (ADF-VIII) was held on 23 – 25 October 2012 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The African Development Forum (ADF), an Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) flagship biennial event created in 1999, is a multi-stakeholder platform for debating, discussing, and initiating concrete strategies for Africa's development. The aim of ADF is to present the key stakeholders in Africa’s development with the results of current research and opinions on key development issues to formulate shared goals, priorities, and programmes, and define the environment that will enable African countries to implement these programs. The Conference endorsed the decision to focus the theme of ADF-VIII on “Governing and harnessing natural resources for Africa’s development”. The platform offers as much an opportunity to build partnerships as for the occasion to further deepen discussions on the implementation of the Africa Mining Vision (AMV); the AU Declaration on Land; the Framework and Guidelines for Land Policy in Africa (F&G); the Implementation Strategy for the Accelerated Industrialization Development for Africa (AIDA); Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests; and other frameworks for best practices in the management of mineral, land, fisheries and forest resources. Prime Minister of Ethiopia H.E Hailemariam Desalegn in his keynote address expressed that our policies must also emphasize transparency in the use of resource-derived earnings and prioritize the spending of monies on products most likely to deliver the greatest benefit to broad sectors of our societies. The case of Botswana is instructive at independence, but Botswana had 12 kilometers of paved road 22 university graduates and a hundred secondary school graduates. Yet today Botswana is a middle-income country. For Botswana diamonds turned out not to be a curse but a blessing. | en |
