Mogadishu University Participates The UN Fourth African Development Forum (ADF-IV)

This conference was the fourth of its kind organized by the UN Economic commission for Africa (UN-ECA) based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The close organizing collaborators with UN-ECA were the African Development Bank (ADB) and the commission of the African Union (AU). The main theme of this ADF IV was "Governance for a progressing Africa". Good governance was seen as the key to a more viable, sustainable and more promising future for Africa. This conference duration was October 11-15th.

The UN-ECA management officially invited Hussein Moalim Iman of the Mogadishu University to take part in this important conference where African development agenda was thoroughly discussed. An important project on "measuring and monitoring progress towards Good Governance in Africa" was addressed in the conference. This African Governance Report (AGR) covered the empirical findings on 28 African countries.

Also other regional conferences such as the seventh regional conference on Beijing+10 was covered in parallel to this ADF IV Forum, and One-Day Youth symposium organized in collaboration with UNICEF.
