| 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. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, emphasized the significance of natural resources to Africa's past, present, and future in her opening statement at the African Development Forum. She stated that the reason for Africa's colonization was its abundant natural resources. Currently, Africa's position in the global economy is determined by its natural resources, and its future will rely on how it manages them. | en |
