The Decade of African Roots and Diasporas: Dussey Urges Rapid Action-Taking

(Togo First) - Togo’s minister of foreign affairs, Robert Dussey, chaired on Monday the second virtual meeting of the High Committee for the Decade of African roots and diasporas. On the occasion, he advocated for rapid implementation of the decision taken by the Heads of State and Government Conference regarding the 2021-2031 Agenda.

The Togolese diplomat argued that it was necessary to “meet, as fast as possible, the expectations of the African diasporas and increase their contribution to the development of countries, individually, as well as to the achievement of goals of the Africa Union’s 2063 Agenda.”

Following Dussey’s plea, participants present agreed on short and mid-term actions to take to make the process inclusive, by involving African diasporas: from the Americas, the Pacific, the Antilles, the Carribeans, and non-State actors. In the same framework, Morocco said it would support the initiative with $200,000.

The Decade of African roots and diasporas is a Togo-led initiative. Its goal is to make the African diaspora key actors of Africa’s development.
