The release of the new \u201cMarshall Plan with Africa\u201d by the German development ministry\u00a0 heralds a new \u00a0 era that could redefine new Africa-EU relations, says ONE Africa (interim) Executive Director, Nachilala Nkombo.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As ONE Africa, we welcome this plan, anchored on\u00a0the African aspirations and priorities set out in the African Union\u2019s long-term plan called Agenda 2063. The new \u201cMarshall Plan\u201d acknowledges the need for Africa and the world to prepare to meet head-on the needs of Africa\u2019s large youth population. If well incorporated in the G20- and EU-processs,\u00a0The Marshall Plan\u2019s focus on African youth education, entrepreneurship and employment creation efforts could\u00a0 \u00a0be a game changer \u00a0\u2013 \u00a0particularly in fragile African \u00a0states. However, success of any new initiative in Africa requires an end to the implementation crisis on the continent.\u00a0 For this plan to impact African development, African governments must take charge and commit to ending the implementation crisis and systemic corruption. On the side of Germany and partners, this effort should accelerate the implementation of existing SDG type national level plans in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social investments to address social issues\u00a0and to stimulate long-term growth must also get equal attention. \u00a0Its good news for Africa to see Germany lead the call to eliminate illicit financial flows out of\u00a0Africa \u2013 money that\u00a0could immediately be used to fund education, health infrastructure and investments in women and girls on the continent. \u00a0Further, a commitment to a commitment to EU transparency directives would help translate this expression of intent in a way that is practically beneficial to Africa\u2019s citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this plan to ultimately succeed a live accountability framework to monitor implementation of these commitments is will determine whether or not this initiative will have an impact. \u00a0The outcomes of the July 2017 African Union Heads of State and government summit \u00a0and the German G20 summit\u00a0this year could secure this type of\u00a0framework.<\/span><\/p>\n
