UN support to NEPAD

The NEPAD message has also reached the countries of the South and Africans in the Diaspora. China, India, Brazil and the Arab countries in particular are being mobilized to partner Africa in this very ambitious project.

African leaders have engaged their counterparts from the developed countries and countries of the South on the issue of supporting implementation through agreements reached in forums such as the G8, the UN Millennium Summit, the Financing for Development Conference, the WSSD, TICAD, the New Asia-Africa Strategic Partnership and the Forum for China-Africa Cooperation.

Africans in the Diaspora are responding in diverse ways, ranging from offers of expertise, lobbying of their governments and mobilization of private sector investors.

A group of African scientists resident in the United States of America and Europe have established the NEPAD Council as a vehicle for coordinating their participation in the development and implementation of NEPAD programmes. Furthermore, NEPAD has established Africa Recruit as a joint venture with the Commonwealth Business Council. The primary purpose of this initiative is to interest Africans living abroad in job opportunities in Africa and also in providing consultancy services to African governments and initiatives.
