	NEPAD AND FDIS: SYMMETRIES AND CONTRADICTIONS
		NEPAD is "anchored on the determination of Africans to extricate themselves and the continent from the malaise of underdevelopment and exclusion in a globalising world." (para 1).
		NEPAD sets its target at an estimated 7 per cent annual growth rate needed to meet the millennium goals - particularly, the goal of reducing by half the proportion of Africans living in poverty by the year 2015.
		NEPAD's rationale for this is that "participation in the Economic and Political Governance Initiatives is a prerequisite for participation in the Capital Flows Initiative." (para 147) In other words, a country has no right to "capital flows" if does not participate in the "Economic and Political Governance Initiatives" as ordained by NEPAD.

	modified - Nepad =Sap+Gats+DSB \| AiDC
		At one point (paragraph 7), Nepad does recognise that globalization "has increased the ability of the strong to advance their interests to the detriment of the weak", but this brilliant and incisive observation on the current asymmetrical power relationship is quickly forgotten.
		Nepad's solution is to place these services in the globalization basket, and let private capital (foreign, as it would mostly turn out) to finance the provision of these services.
		It is possible that the authors of Nepad did not have the time or the necessary advice from those who should have known better that the route they have chosen to bring the "renaissance" of Africa could well be Africa's final and utter submission to the rule of the IMF plus the WTO.

	Africa: South African Churches on NEPAD
		NEPAD is in many respects a marketing strategy for Africa that attempts to overcome the negative image and sentiment that Africa generates in the consciousness of many political, business, and civil society circles outside the continent.
		NEPAD can be an effective mechanism to engage industrialised countries in an honest, transparent, and ongoing discourse about Africa in the context of globalisation, so as to transform incorrect assumptions about the benefits of the globalisation enterprise.
		NEPAD must support proposals for corrective changes to the international financial system such as the proposed international currency transaction tax that could be implemented at national level, and that a set proportion of the revenues raised in rich countries should be directed to Africa's reconstruction and development.

	NEPAD Must See the Poor African First - Global Policy Forum - Social and Economic Policy
		Nowhere, for example, does Nepad recognise that "liberalisation" and the "open economy" are practically forced on Africa, of which the fourth WTO Ministerial Conference at Doha was a living testimony.
		In spite of the worthiness of Nepad's stated goal of creating self-reliance on the continent, we cannot leave that to the whims of volatile and untrustworthy global capital.
		Nepad's noble intentions may be embraced, yes, but the strategy for self-reliance is self-reliance.

	Nepad lays out vision for Africa - SouthAfrica.info
		Nepad is a vision for Africa that aims to tackle issues such as peace and security, good economic, political and corporate governance, and to make the continent an attractive destination for foreign investment.
		As an integral part of this, Nepad is focused on the establishment of a new partnership between the north and the south — to end (the old) relationship between the dominant northern donors and the subservient southern recipients of charity."

	Africa: Gender and NEPAD, 1
		The assessment of NEPAD's intention to address gender issues is analysed by looking at NEPAD as a planning sequence, from expression of principles and goals, through to the identification of the specific actions proposed to achieve these goals.
		For example, since NEPAD claims to be interested in both democracy and gender inequality, the reader might expect of find a definite goal to close (the presently huge) gender gaps in parliamentary membership, and a statement of the time period for this target to be achieved.
		Given NEPAD's own declared interest in good governance, democracy and human rights, one might be entitled to expect a priority interest in identifying and removing instances of legalised discrimination in law (both statutory and customary).

	NEPAD
		NEPAD recognizes that the range of issues necessary to nurture the region’s environmental base and sustainable use of natural resources is vast and complex, and that a systematic combination of initiatives is necessary in order to develop a coherent environmental programme.
		NEPAD called for the development and adoption of an environment initiative - a coherent action plan and strategies - to address the region’s environmental challenges while at the same time combating poverty and promoting socio-economic development.
		The Action plan of the environment initiative of NEPAD covering the first decade of the twenty-first century is a response to such challenges.

	NEPAD Overview
		The work on developing NEPAD (at that stage referred to as the Millennium Partnership for the African Recovery Programme (MAP)) then began in earnest and a process of engagement on a bilateral and multilateral level was pursued.
		NEPAD was enthusiastically received and unanimously adopted in the form of Declaration 1 (XXXVII) as Africa's principal agenda for development, providing a holistic, comprehensive integrated strategic framework for the socio-economic development of the continent, within the institutional framework of the African Union.
		The primary objective of NEPAD is to eradicate poverty in Africa and to place African countries both individually and collectively on a path of sustainable growth and development to thus halt the marginalisation of Africa in the globalisation process.

	WOA--Outlook for American Policy
		NEPAD seeks to create a strategic common vision among African governments, with a commitment toward eradicating poverty and supporting sustainable development based on improved access to capital, technology and human skills and resources.
		NEPAD commits African governments to address democratic governance issues from a standpoint that goes beyond institutional reforms and technical adjustments toward a willingness to be more fully engaged with civic organizations, where critical alternatives may be advanced from civil society and the NGO community without being perceived as threats to power.
		NEPAD commits African governments to the empowerment of women, to be demonstrated by an increase in income earning power, as a share of professional and managerial jobs, and as a share of parliamentary seats held by women.

	SARPN - African commentaries on NEPAD
		Nepad began with President Thabo Mbeki's vision of the African Renaissance, the insight that if Africa were to unleash its economic and political energies, it could achieve accelerated development.
		This is NOT the same as having Nepad projects and programmes 'implemented at country level' by ministries, UN agencies or donors.
		Nepad should remember that it is a regional initiative that represents Africa, and it is part of the African Union.

	NEPAD
		NEPAD’s main author and champion, South African President Thabo Mbeki, began writing a development plan for South Africa to attract both foreign aid and foreign investment in 1999.
		To achieve “sustainable” and “self” development, NEPAD calculates and builds a plan around achieving an annual growth rate of 7% for the next 15 years and securing financing of $64 billion per year to accomplish its development goals.
		NEPAD’s policies focus on privatization, particularly of infrastructure such as water, electricity, telecommunications and transport, largely in the form of “Public-Private Partnerships” between private industry and government – as does the World Bank, the Bush Administration’s MCA and, potentially, the WSSD itself.

	Choike - New Partnership for African Development - NEPAD
		Furthermore, NEPAD adopts social and economic measures that contribute to the marginalization of women and does not question the global economic system that, in the view of civil society, plays a major role in Africa's continued marginalization.
		NEPAD stresses "the need for African countries to pool their resources and enhance regional development and economic integration to improve international competitiveness".
		Analysts of NEPAD's perspective on women rights conclude that there is an internal inconsistency in NEPAD’s treatment of gender issues, in that the limited intention to address these particular issues at the policy level is not sufficiently followed through into programme goals and objectives, or into project activities.

		Nepad evolved under conditions of smoke-filled-room secrecy, in close contact with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair (several times during 2000), the G8 (in Okinawa in 2000 and Genoa in 2001), the Bretton Woods Institutions (in repeated meetings) and international capital (at Davos in 2001).
		Nepad's slippery premise is that poverty in Africa can be cured, if only the world elite gives the continent a chance: `The continued marginalisation of Africa from the globalisation process and the social exclusion of the vast majority of its peoples constitute a serious threat to global stability...

	Sweeping plan to rid Africa of poverty, corruption / Aid would be linked to reform
		In essence, NEPAD calls for $64 billion a year in debt relief, aid and, most importantly, direct investment in Africa to help the continent catch up with the rest of the world.
		What makes NEPAD different from previous schemes is that, in exchange, African leaders must commit themselves to a hard road of democratic reforms, open government and a corruption-free business environment.
		NEPAD will be at the top of the agenda when the G-8 -- comprising Canada, Japan, the United States, Germany, Italy, Britain, France and Russia -- meets in Kananaskis, Alberta, on June 26-27.
