Conakry, Republic of Guinea, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, 06. February 2024
The
Government of the Republic of Guinea, through the Ministry of Planning
and International Cooperation, has announced a Round Table of Donors
(RTD) event.
Scheduled for February 15 and 16, 2024, in Dubai,
United Arab Emirates, this event is a pivotal part of the Interim
Reference Program (IRP) 2022-2025. The IRP aligns Guinea’s development
with the Guinea 2040 Vision, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
for 2030, the ECOWAS 2050 Vision, the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063,
and other significant international development frameworks.
Her
Excellency Ms. Rose Pola Pricemou, Minister of Planning and
International Cooperation, highlights the significance of the RTD -
"This event is a cornerstone in our journey towards sustainable
development. It embodies our commitment to a resilient Guinea, equipped
with robust institutions, infrastructure, and a dynamic economy. The RTD
is about securing essential funding and establishing long-term
strategic partnerships that are essential for our nation's growth."
The
RTD event in Dubai is expected to be a landmark gathering of
international donors and development partners. It offers a strategic
platform for the Government of Guinea to showcase its developmental
priorities and strategic choices. Key projects to be discussed at the
event symbolise the Government's commitment to enhancing urban
infrastructure, improving access to clean water, and fostering economic
diplomacy.
The IRP aims to translate the Government's Roadmap
into actionable strategies across various sectors, providing a reference
for allocating budgetary resources, facilitating dialogue with
development partners, and establishing a framework for monitoring and
evaluating public actions. It addresses institutional, infrastructural,
and transformational challenges, focusing on establishing strong
political, judicial, security, and economic institutions, maintaining
infrastructure, and tackling challenges from demographic dynamics,
digitalisation, economic diversification, and climate change.
The
IRP reflects the Government's dedication to holistic and inclusive
national development, structured around five pillars – institutional
rectification, macroeconomic and financial framework, legal framework
and governance, social action, employment and employability,
infrastructure, connectivity, and sanitation.
With the total cost
of the IRP amounting to 108 trillion Guinean Franc, approximately
US$12.273 billion, the national capacity for mobilising public resources
is expected to cover 72% of this amount. The RTD is envisioned to
address the remaining funding needs through increased domestic savings,
borrowing, establishing a sovereign fund, and international support.
"The
Round Table is not just about funding; it's about laying the groundwork
for a new type of partnership for Guinea's development. We aim to
continue our dialogue with traditional partners while exploring new
global partnerships and promoting South-South and Triangular
cooperation," added Her Excellency Rose.
The Government of Guinea
invites global partners to this pivotal event in Dubai, marking a
significant step towards Guinea's sustainable and inclusive development.
