OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

Objet publié

Canada's contribution to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for hosting the Africa Partnership Forum Support Unit (APF Support Unit) is to support the continued operation of the APF Support Unit. This enables the APF to effectively monitor and assess the implementation and delivery of commitments made by African states and their development partners in the context of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). The APF has become a key forum at a senior political level for discussing and monitoring policy issues, strategies and priorities in support of Africa's development. Its members; Africa, G8, OECD and other development partners all work together as equals in the forum – and ensure synergies and coherence with other international fora. The APF meets twice each year and is Co-Chaired on an alternating basis by representatives of the African Union and NEPAD, and by G8 and non-G8 OECD Member countries.
