Abstract

The article discusses the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) in light of Africans increasingly assuming responsibility for their own destiny. One provision in NEPAD promotes the idea of peer review of African governments and leaders by other leaders. Unlike previous development plans, NEPAD places an emphasis not on aid but on mobilizing Africa's own resources. The author is Dr Constance Freeman, Regional Director of the International Development Research Centre’s (IDRC) office in Nairobi, Kenya.
