New Partnership For African Development (NEPAD)
The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) is a vision and strategic framework for Africa's renewal. The NEPAD strategic framework document arises from a mandate given to the five initiating Heads of State (Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa) and by the Organization of African Unity (OAU) to develop an integrated socioeconomic development framework for Africa. The Thirty Seventh Summit of the OAU in July 2001 formally adopted the strategic framework document. NEPAD is designed to address the current development challenges facing the African continent.
