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.
