Agenda item 30

Implementation of the United Nations New Agenda for the Development of Africa in the 1990s, including measures and recommendations agreed upon at its mid-term review

Report of the Secretary-General (A/55/350 and Add.1)

Mr. Kobayashi (Japan)

My Government welcomes the report on the mid-term review of the United Nations New Agenda for the Development of Africa in the 1990s (UN-NADAF), and would like to thank the Office of the Special Coordinator for Africa and the Least Developed Countries (OSCAL) for preparing this excellent report, as well as the one on the causes of conflict and the promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa, which we discussed last week in the same context.

In sub-Saharan Africa, per capita income today is lower than it was in 1970 in real terms. Of the 44 least developed countries, 33 are in Africa. Almost half of the world's refugees and internally displaced persons are in Africa. Indeed, Africa is the only region where conflicts are increasing. There were more than 34 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the world as of the end of 1999, of which 24 million were in sub-Saharan Africa. This is a reality that we must face.
