Abstract
The 12th meeting of the Africa Partnership Forum (APF) was held in Rome on 10 June 2009. The meeting was opened by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the government of Italy, and was addressed by the President of Togo, the Prime Minister of Somalia, Ministers from the governments of the Republic of the Congo, Italy, Japan and Portugal, the Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Africa, the Commissioner for Economic Affairs of the African Union, and the CEO of the NEPAD Secretariat. The meeting discussed 4 issues: the response to the economic crisis as it affects Africa; peace and security and terrorism, and in particular the problems of drug trafficking and piracy; climate change; and the future of the APF as a forum for dialogue between Africa and its development partners. The conclusions of the Forum are being transmitted to wider political processes, including forthcoming meetings of the UN, G8 and African Union, and the preparations for the next G20 Summit, and the Copenhagen Conference on climate change.
