Agenda item 46 (continued)
Implementation of the outcome of the World Summit for Social Development
Report of the Secretary-General (A/52/305)
Mr. Mahugu (Kenya)
At the outset, Sir, I wish to join the previous speakers in commending you for the able manner in which you continue to preside over the work of the fifty-second session of the General Assembly.
My delegation would like to associate itself fully with the views expressed by the Permanent Representative of the United Republic of Tanzania on behalf of the Group of 77 and China on this agenda item. I should also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report entitled "Implementation of the Outcome of the World Summit for Social Development" (A/52/305), and we look forward to the report on poverty eradication (A/52/315).
The adoption of the Declaration and Programme of Action during the World Summit for Social Development, held at Copenhagen in March 1995, was a milestone towards the eradication of poverty, an increase in productive employment and the enhancement of social integration. The presence of so many world leaders at the Summit underscored the importance placed on social development.
My delegation fully supports the efforts made by the United Nations in facilitating the implementation of the outcome of the World Summit for Social Development. Kenya attaches great significance to the implementation of the Economic and Social Council's agreed conclusions on "Fostering an enabling environment for development: financial flows, including capital flows, investment and trade", as adopted at the Council's recent high-level segment. We urge the timely implementation of the Council's recommendations on the eradication of poverty. We welcome the notable steps undertaken so far by the functional commissions, in particular the Commission for Social Development and the Commission on the Status of Women, in coordinating the implementation of the Council's recommendations on the multiyear programmes relating to poverty eradication.
In this context, the United Nations operational activities for development should be strengthened. We urge the United Nations Development Programme to continue coordinating efforts by the United Nations system towards capacity-building for social development programmes at the national level.
While social development and the implementation of the commitments made at Copenhagen are primarily the responsibility of Governments, international cooperation is essential to ensure the full implementation of these commitments. In this regard, Kenya underscores the importance of a partnership approach at the national, regional and international levels. In order to enhance full and effective implementation of the broad-based commitments of the Summit, there is an urgent need for the international donor community, including the Bretton Woods institutions, to provide the new and additional resources needed to finance the projects and programmes, particularly those designed to hasten the eradication of poverty.
As a follow-up to the World Summit for Social Development, the Government of Kenya, in collaboration with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, has prepared a comprehensive policy framework paper outlining the development strategies during the current National Development Plan for the period 1997-2001. The paper is designed to enhance conditions conducive to sustained economic growth and development. These include: the maintenance of macroeconomic stability; the improvement of efficiency in the public sector; the promotion of the private sector as an effective engine of economic growth for development; and addressing the social aspects of development through targeted poverty interventions for the vulnerable groups.
I should like to conclude by reiterating the importance my Government attaches to the implementation of the Declaration and Programme of Action as agreed at the World Summit for Social Development. Towards this end, my delegation believes that without the timely and effective support of the international community, these efforts will have limited impact. Kenya therefore seeks the support of, and partnership with, the donor community, the private sector and the beneficiaries in enhancing the speedy implementation of the goals and objectives of the Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Summit.
Mr. Valle (Brazil)
