UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has decried how poverty, hunger and
disease are denying millions of Africans a chance to realize their full
potential.
Said Moon: “Poverty, hunger, and disparities in health, education,
and participation in society, are preventing hundreds of millions of
Africans from fully realizing their potential. Greater effort is needed
by all to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.”
He described Africa as a dynamic continent undergoing fundamental
transformation. “Even during the world economic crisis, Africa’s
economies continued to expand, and growth forecasts remain positive.”
