Q&A: Nepad lends Africa’s agricultural industry a helping hand

16 Jan 2012
An interview with Glenn Denning, the director of the Centre on Globalization and Sustainable Development, about how the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (Nepad) contributed to the continent’s farming sector: Q: What has been Nepad’s contribution to Africa? A: I was living in Africa when Nepad was established in 2001, and I closely observed its role evolve during the past decade. The concept made good sense. Africa could finally project a common voice on development issues and support a common vision for agriculture-led growth. That voice and vision made it easier to engage with international development partners, including newcomers from emerging economies.
