Resolutions 57/2 and 57/7 of 16 September and 4 November 2002 of the United Nations General Assembly adopted the position that the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) should be the framework within which the international community, including the United Nations system should concentrate its efforts for Africa's development. In a nutshell, NEPAD has therefore become the fulcrum for United Nations System support to the continent.
