As it plans its own future, Africa engages with the world

This year’s summit of the African Union (AU), which turned 50 in 2013, followed an intensive round of planning for the next 50 years. The summit, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was just opening as Ms. Amina Mohammed, the UN Secretary-General’s point person on development, spoke with Africa Renewal at her office on the 37th floor of the UN Secretariat building in New York.
