PAP, UN seek synergies to promote African solutions to African problems

The Pan-African Parliament (PAP) continues to generate interest from various key political and socio-economic stakeholders around the world as its renewal project, led by its leadership, continues to yield positive results.

At the end of the Second Ordinary Session of the Sixth Parliament, the Bureau of the PAP received the Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General on Africa, Madam Cristina Duarte. The high-level meeting explored and identified several key areas for collaboration.

The engagement deliberated on the need for Africans and the UN to work together on delivering sustainable development.

"Our aim is to start a fruitful collaboration with Africa’s Parliament to advance the African agenda. Today Africa faces a multitude of challenges in the areas of food security and energy for instance. These problems should be processed as opportunities. We are here to seek support from the PAP around three important key areas namely financing for development, energy and climate dynamics, and the nexus between peace and security and development," proffered Madam Cristina Duarte.https://pap.au.int/.../pap-un-seek-synergies-promote...
