Summary
The present report has been prepared in response to General Assembly
resolution 57/7 of 4 November 2002, in which the Assembly requested the Secretary-
General to submit the first consolidated report on the implementation of the
resolution at its fifty-eighth session, and urged the international community and the
United Nations system to organize support for African countries in accordance with
the principles, objectives and priorities of the New Partnership for Africa's
Development. The report highlights the actions taken by African countries in the
implementation of the Partnership as well as support by the international community,
including the United Nations system and the response of the private sector and the
civil society. Africa's ownership and leadership of the Partnership represent an
important and welcome reassertion of the principle of responsibility for its
development. The international community's support is an important expression of
international solidarity and partnership. Together, the principles of responsibility,
solidarity and partnership are a formula for success. Even so, African countries and
the international community must persevere and work together to build on the
incipient momentum for the New Partnership for Africa's Development and to
deliver on its promise.
