President of the Republic of Uganda
This emboldens me to
believe that Africa has the
most essential ingredient to
take charge of its destiny;
its People.
VISION
STATEMENT
The initiatives already in place to strengthen Africas Peace and Security Architecture, especially the Panel of the Wise,
Friends of the Wise and the PANWISE
networks, will be augmented to support
mediation efforts and to reinforce modalities for the socio-economic initiatives
that address structural dysfunction of our
economies.
3. Resource Mobilization
Self reliance and self determination will
result from timely sawing of good seed for
a bumper harvest. The required consumption levelsto generate needed taxes for
the Member States, come from mobilizing
the private sector to invest more. Our people must save moreto pool the required
resources for investments. Member-State
governments must reciprocate by being
transparent, weed out corruption and extravagance and spend in accordance with
agreed priorities for impact. It is then, that
we shall get true partners to help us on the
way to destination 2063.
My competencies
as a strategic &
institution building
technocrat, and
experience in
strategic planning
and structuring of
government for
focused resource
application for
impact will serve
me well in this
exercise.
