The African Union’s Economic Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) Secretariat, has committed to actively engage Africa’s Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for a sustainable and waste free continent.

Delivering a keynote presentation yesterday at the ‘Let’s Do It World Conference,’ ECOSOCC’s Head of Secretariat, William Carew, highlighted the key aspirations of the continent as anchored under the AU’s Agenda 2063 and the Union’s commitments for improving sanitation on the continent.

“An impressive accomplishment of NEPAD has been the strengthening of partnerships with the rest of the world. NEPAD has engaged the G20, G8, OECD, FOCAC, TICAD and the UN system on new development cooperation and aid architecture for Africa. Over its 20 years, NEPAD has promoted programmes in areas such as agriculture, health, education and training, the environment, information and communication technology and infrastructure development,” H.E Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa and Chairperson of the African Union stated at the NEPAD symposium.
