NEPAD Heads of State and Government Summit & Press Briefing Chaired by President Macky Sall
Africa is moving forward through NEPAD – African leaders agree at AU Summit
Addis Ababa, January 29, 2015 - African Heads of State and Government who oversee the work and impact of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) Agency, have commended the important role the Agency plays in transforming the continent. The NEPAD Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee (HSGOC) is a grouping of 20 African leaders who meet twice a year on the margins of the African Union Summit to take stock of the implementation of the NEPAD Agency.
The 32ndHSGOC Summit in Ethiopia’s Capital Addis Ababa today made important decisions. They endorsed the Implementation Strategy for the Dakar Agenda for Action on Financing Africa’s Infrastructure and the Service Delivery Mechanism (SDM) of the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), in support of early stage Infrastructure Project Preparation.
The President of the Republic of Senegal and Chairperson of the HSGCO Macky Sall commended the NEPAD Agency for accelerating the implementation of concrete transformative regional infrastructure projects. ”The NEPAD Agency is helping to overcome our weakness in project preparation and makingselected regional infrastructure projects bankable,” President Sall said.
He spoke on the outcomes of the Dakar Financing Summit (DFS) which was the first ever financing Summit targeting 16 trans-boundary and regional infrastructure projects.He said that the Summit, which his Government hosted in June 2014, was a major moment for the mobilisation of leaders, the private and public sector. President Sall commended the sincere commitment made by all involved in seeing the Dakar Agenda for Action becoming a success. It outlines concrete actions towards
financing for Africa’s Infrastructure development.Here minded all present that African leaders must remain engaged in PIDA as the programme has reached its second phase of implementation.
Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said that NEPAD’s programmes and priorities need to be aligned to Agenda 2063. Dr Dlamini Zuma noted that the adoption of Africa’s new transformation agenda will be an important moment for Africa to look back and develop an implementable roadmap for the next 50 years. It will be of paramount importance that the AUC, NEPAD Agency and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) work hand in hand to make Agenda 2063 a success, she emphasised.
“The NEPAD Agency has also provided technical support to the Presidential Infrastructure Championship Initiative under the continued strategic guidance of President Jacob Zuma of South Africa,”NEPAD Agency Chief Executive Officer Dr Ibrahim Assane Mayaki said in his progress report on NEPAD’s performance in 2014. He made reference to the Agriculture, Climate Change Framework Initiative, which is targeting at least 25 million small scale farmers, especially women, to practise climate smart agriculture by 2025, he said.
Dr Mayaki also spoke on the interventions taken by the Agency in empowering African women, in line with the AU Summit’s theme of “Year of Women Empowerment towards the Development of Africa’s Agenda 2063”. Giving an example of its NEPAD/Spanish for African women’s empowerment, Dr Mayki noted: “The Agency has empowered 21 856 vulnerable women through financial assistance, agriculture education and training, micro credit entrepreneurship and skills development in the agribusiness value chain.” The CEO of NEPAD recalled 2014 as an important year for Africa’s partnerships in the context of the changing global order and advancing meaningful partnership support for the continent’s development priorities. This led to the approval of the Africa Global Partnership Platform by the Malabo AU Assembly last June.
The HSGOC was attended by the Presidents and Heads of Government of Senegal, South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as foreign ministers, diplomats and heads of development partner Agencies.
The HGSOC lauded the achievements made in PICI presented by President Zuma who is the Chair of the presidential Initiative.President Zuma gave an update on some of the PICI projects ranging from the North-South Road and Rail Corridor, the missing links of the Trans-Saharan Highway and the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, from Nigeria to Algeria via the Republic of Niger, which are championed by African Heads of State to fast-track their implementation.
Also endorsed was the implementation of the post-Malabo Declaration on the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) to ensure an African-owned and led agricultural transformation, especially relating to African Women and Climate Smart Agriculture.
There was general consensus among the Orientation Committee to scale up efforts for improved resilience to the effects of climate change in agriculture and the impacts it is having on African people.

In 1993 BART was really serious about getting into the commuter rail business. This brochure outlines the reasons and proposed routes at the time.
Regarding these proposed commuter rail routes:
•Suisun City-Oakland – Demo train ran for a week in September 1993. Nothing became of it. Today (2018), this route is part of Amtrak’s Capitol Corridor, used by commuters (which by the way was already operating in 1993 when the commuter demos ran).
•Brentwood-Oakland – Demo train rail for a week in September 1993. Nothing became of it. Today (2018), a BART diesel light rail extension is under construction from BART’s Pittsburg/Bay Point station to Antioch (in the median of Highway 4). Future plans have the train extending further into Brentwood, but for now, no timeline has been established for construction.
•Oakland-San Jose – Nothing came of this proposal. Was to operate mostly over an old Western Pacific Railroad line to San Jose (by then it was part of Union Pacific). As of 2018, BART has still not reached San Jose. An extension recently opened from Fremont to Warm Springs/South Fremont with another extension due, possibly in 2018, into Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose. Ironically, a good deal of this extension is along the old Western Pacific Route. Further extension into the heart of San Jose is expected to open around 2026.
•Stockton-San Jose (Altamont Pass Route) – Something that did happen. This came into existence on October 19, 1998 as Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) (now renamed Altamont Corridor Express). The line terminates at the San Jose Diridon (Cahill St) station, not the Tamien station further south as envisioned in the brochure. Also, this turned-out to be mostly a project of San Joaquin County with funding/assistance from Alameda & Santa Clara Counties; no BART involvement whatsoever.
Other items of note in the overall “proposal map”:
•It shows a BART extension all the way down the Peninsula from San Francisco to San Jose. Not going to happen. BART currently goes as far south as Millbrae and that’s where it will stay. The Caltrain line which covers the distance of the Peninsula has (finally) begun a modernization plan which will bring electrification with new trains, more frequency and an eventual extension into downtown San Francisco.
•A BART extension from Richmond to Crockett. Nope. Talked about from time to time but nothing in recent years
•The map is drawn wrong too. Note the commuter rail route to Suisun City shows extending northward from Crockett. It actually extends northward from Martinez (across the Suisun Bay bridge). There is no rail route across the bay from Crockett.
Nurses Join Rep. DeLauro to Oppose Fast-Track Authority
RNs: Fast Track, Trade Deals Jeopardize Public Health, Democracy
Capitol Hill Press Conference Thursday, Feb. 26, 2014.
