Notes to the editor

Deriving its origins from a key recommendation of Tony Blair’s Commission for Africa, the Africa Progress Panel was launched in April 2007 as an independent authority on Africa to focus world leaders’ attention on delivering their commitments to the continent. The Panel places particular attention on supporting effective and united African leadership to address challenges to the continent’s continued development. More information on the panel is available in the About section of this website.

In early September, APP Chair Kofi Annan and APP Executive Director Michael Keating met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and several members of her cabinet to discuss the future of Germany’s development cooperation. At a subsequent working lunch Mo Ibrahim, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, David Lane, Jeff Lamb and other prominent development practitioners joined the discussions. Mr. Annan also met separately with Germany’s Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Dirk Niebel to discuss Germany’s continued support for the APP. The visit came just before Chancellor Merkel presented Germany’s new MDG strategy at the Review Summit in New York
