Description
Good public financial governance is a prerequisite for Africa to mobilize its own revenues and grow out of aid. Defined as the legitimate use of power and authority in the management of a country’s financial resources with integrity, transparency, accountability, equity, it is intrinsic to development, economic growth and poverty reduction.
The time has come for Africa to set its own governance framework, not what is preached by the West, supported by a pledge from all governments to join hands - for the benefit of Africa's people.
