AHG/Decl. 2 (XX) At the national level we pledge to direct as a priority, our resources to the urgent needs in all areas, especially to the rehabilitation of productive sectors of food and agriculture and industry. AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL We request the Secretary-General of the OAU, in co-operation with the Executive Secretary of ECA and other relevant international and African intergovernmental organizations to devise all necessary measures for the promotion of subregional and regional co-operation in the above areas. At the international level, the main efforts should concentrate on alleviating externally-induced constraints which would increase African countries’ capability to mobilize more resources for relief and emergency needs of the stricken population. LONGER-TERM DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS Beyond the emergency and rehabilitation needs outlined above, the very roots of Africa’s development perspectives are mainly structural. We therefore reaffirm our commitment to the measures and guidelines as spelt out in the Lagos Plan of Action and the Final Act of Lagos, and to complement national, sub-regional and regional measures with adequate international support in the inter-related areas of primary commodity export, industrial promotion, external debt and financial flows. To this end, we support the decision and recommendations of our Ministers in their respective sectorial conferences, and endorse the following: a) the recommendations of the Second Session of the African Inter-Ministerial Committee for Food; b) the Programme for the Industrial Development Decade for Africa (IDDA) and the recommendations of the 7th Conference of African Ministers of Industry, in particular Resolution I (VII) on the Implementation of the Programme for the IDDA;
