The New partnership for the development of Africa ( NEPAD , Acronym of New Partnership for Africa' S Development ), is a development project initiated by several Heads of African States of which the South-African Thabo Mbeki, the Algerian Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the Senegalese Abdoulaye Wade, the Nigerian Olusegun Obasanjo, and the Égyptien Hosni Mubarak.
Creation
The NEPAD comes from the fusion of two other plans suggested for Africa: the Plane Omega and the Millenium African Plan or Plan MAP. Those, appeared during the year 2000, sought to mitigate the immense delay which the Africa as regards development had taken on the international scene. Africa is indeed the only continent whose development and the international presence regress. Therefore the president Senegalese Abdoulaye Wade proposed in January 2001, at the France top - Africa of Yaounde, the Plan Omega . This one aimed at " to reabsorb the difference between developed countries and countries underdeveloped by massive investments of external origin, coordinated on a continental scale, to pose the bases of the development of the continent africain". Their sides, the Algerian president Abd El-Aziz Bouteflika, the president Nigerian Olusegun Obasanjo and chair it South Africa Thabo Mbeki proposed the plan MAP , which mainly tried to incorporate Africa within the world actions. It is in July 2001, at the top of the Heads of States of Lusaka, that these two plans amalgamated under the name of NEPAD . The NEPAD is not a completely autonomous institution. It is before a whole project, and this project is under the supervision of the African Union. It is one of its programs. Its ultimate goal is to fill the ditch separating Africa from the rest of the world.
