Day 7: The Friends-Africa Board is Serious

Day 7: Tuesday, February 13, 2007

As a member of the Advisory Board of Friends-Africa, I was able to observe the formal proceedings of the inaugural meeting of the Board of Directors. First Lady Kagame, Former President of Nigeria Gowon, Archbishop of Capetown The Most Rvd Njongonkulu W.H. Ndungane, the former Nigerian Finance Minister Her Excellency Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, amongst others were very serious and committed to ensuring that Friends-Africa will succeed.

As part of the final session of the meeting, I was on a panel that discussed “Financing for Development, Sustainability and Making the Money Work,” with several other African/Africanist colleagues. It felt good to share my perspectives on the fact that we were actually living the African Renaissance, the critical role of civil society in calling for bolder, smarter, and faster action in the spirit of creating a new world order based on justice, and the opportunities we have to work together in solidarity.

It was an amazing meeting where I networked and learned from dynamic African leaders from grassroots groups, people living with HIV/AIDS groups, governments, and the private sector. I feel that Friends Africa has a unique opportunity to have a big impact. I’m committed to doing whatever I can to support this important effort.
