Introduction
This presentation aims at giving to civil Society and development organisations the basic
information and concepts for them to appropriate NEPAD. The logic of the presentation rests
on the succession of ideas related to the African development context, designing the strategy
for world partnership, and conditions for the implementation of its action programme. The
approach consists in creating the conceptual and logical frame for critical analysis,
confronting the vision of the reality of the problems as lived by the field actors and opening
new perspectives.
Chapter one explores the vision of African development that underlies NEPAD. Section 1
deals with African development trends. Section 2 examines the planning problems. Section 3
deals with the process of establishing partnership between the international community and
African governments in order to find an answer.
Chapter 2 submits the partnership to a critical analysis. Section 4 comes back on the
transition from NAI (New African Initiative) to NEPAD and the potential effects of change
in world priorities following the September 11 terrorist attacks. Section 5 reviews the
pertinence of the conceptual frame as well as the real degree of ownership of the partnership.
Section 6 reviews the content and dynamic of partnership. Section 7 gives an overall view of
opinions expressed by some partnership actors.
Chapter 3 reviews the perspectives for its implementation. Section 8 outlines the scenarios of
implementation. Section 9 analyses what scenarios imply for global governance of the
partnership. Section 10 reviews the strategic options. Finally we will draw the implication for
Civil Society and the organisations at the grassroots level.
