5. We reaffirm that long-term economic growth and sustainable development, with poverty reduction as an important objective, remains the overarching goal of development in Africa. These objectives require sustained high rates of savings, investment and growth, notably in the key development sectors in Africa. We call upon the international community to speed up the creation of a global solidarity and poverty alleviation fund, as adopted by the OAU Summit of Heads of State and Government at its thirty-sixth session, in June 2000, with a view to achieving the set objective of reducing poverty by half by the year 2015. To achieve this target, African economies would need to grow by about 7 to 8 per cent annually and increase their estimated investment/GDP ratio to 25 per cent from the current 19 per cent per annum. We welcome the new development focus of the multilateral financial institutions, particularly on poverty alleviation.
