Sign
the Petition calling on
African Governments to
Keep their Promise
To achieve the MDGs,
we call on African
Governments to:
Re-affirm their
commitments to the
achievement of the
MDGs by 2015.
Work with their
citizens,
parliaments and
local governments to
develop and
implement
break-through action
plans.
Address
inequality,
discrimination and
marginalization of
specific social
groups including
people with
disabilities, women,
youth as integral
part of the
breakthrough plans.
Address resource
leakages and
corruption with
urgency.
Act urgently to
implement the
African protocol on
women’s rights and
similar undertakings
in relation to
youth, children and
people living with
disabilities.
Put employment
and decent work for
women and young
people at the centre
of economic
policies.
Uphold all
continental
agreements and
protocols to budget
adequately for the
achievement of the
MDGs including such
targets as 15% to
health, 10% to
Agriculture, 10% to
education.
Put more efforts
into mobilising and
retaining domestic
resources
through fair and
efficient taxation,
fair sharing of
natural resource
rents and the
prevention of
illicit capital
flight.
“ENSURE THAT NO
WOMAN SHOULD DIE
GIVING LIFE” .
We commit as
citizen groups to
engage our
governments at
various levels in
order to hold them
to account for these
commitments.
