About NEPAD

The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) framework evolved from a mandate given to the five initiating Heads of State (Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa) by the Organization of African Unity (OAU) now African Union (AU) to develop an integrated socio-economic development framework for Africa. The 37^th Summit of the OAU in July 2001 formally adopted the strategic framework document.

Resolution 57/7 of the United Nations Assembly in 2002 adopted the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) as a framework for supporting development in Africa, and advised that all African countries establish a National NEPAD Office. In the same year, the National Assembly of Nigeria ratified and adopted the African Union Consultative Act of which NEPAD programme and initiative are part thereof.

It is a strategic framework for Africa’s renewal and sustainable development. It is a framework of Action Plan between Africa and the rest of the world. It is a comprehensive integrated development plan that addresses key social, economic, environmental and political priorities. It is a unique opportunity to improve governance in Africa and lure investment to the continent.

The primary goals of NEPAD are:

To eradicate poverty;
To place African countries on the path of sustainable economic growth and development;
To accelerate the empowerment of women, and
To halt the marginalization of Africa in the globalization process while enhancing its full and beneficial integration into the global economy.

THE NATIONAL COORDINATOR/CEO’S 4R STRATEGY

RE-POSITIONING

NEPAD Nigeria is deeply concerned about Nigeria’s present and future prospects in global economic development given the crisis the nation has witnessed over the years. Thus, our economy has been in shambles as a result of pervasive corruption, erosion of our enviable value system, lack of good governance and poor project implementation from the past regime.
Consequently, NEPAD Nigeria among other things has re-positioned itself to tackle the poor state of the nation’s economy and designed programs and projects that would kick-start the nation’s aspiration for realistic economic diversification, reverse the present recession and put the nation on the path of global competitiveness.

RE-LAUNCHING

• To re-introduce NEPAD to the consciousness of Nigerians and non-Nigerians alike;
• To partner with the Federal MDAs, State and Local Governments, Private Sector, the International Community, NGOs and the Civil Society Organizations in implementing NEPAD programs and projects;
• To introduce a robust partnership for NEPAD Nigeria and constant engagement with the APRM Continental Secretariats and other countries to exchange ideas, share experiences and benefits from economics of scale; and
• To ensure the successful completion of the second country review in partnership with the National Steering Committee.

RE-BRANDING

We have changed to an excellent and tantalizing, brand status vis-a-vis our processes and standards of delivery to make NEPAD Nigeria more attractive to all investors, NGOs and International Donor Agencies in order to place Nigeria and other African countries, individually or collectively, on a path of sustainable economic growth and development. In this wise, we have rebranded our programs and projects mix in response to changes in the global environment so as to halt the marginalization of Africa in the globalization process.
We now have an innovative strategy that aims to make the NEPAD’s brand occupy a distinct position, relative to other MDAs in Nigeria.

RE-ALLIGNING

NEPAD Nigeria has repacked itself as a tool for building an egalitarian society, basic human rights, good governance and key infrastructures for national development.
Therefore the management is the process of working with relevant stakeholders to accomplish organizational mandates
Some of the Critical Deliverable Actions Plans include:
1. Alignment to the nation’s economic policy goals, strategies and priorities with a focus on the economic globalization competitive environment.
2. Setting standard for all aspects of our programs /projects
3. Ensuring effective and efficient operation of all our internal processes and systems.
4. Closing any gap between desired performance and actual performance.
