One of the main obstacles of poverty eradication is in the lack of education and training. An appeal was made to the civil society to promote this eradication. The participants have also requested to make a distinction between bad governance and weak governance. In the latter case, a positive help targeting the capacity reinforcement is more appropriate than sanctions against governments. The Youth, as potential actors for change, are used in conflicts towards destruction.
Technical assistance is useful if it allows gains to capacity training, notably of the youth.
A growing confusion is noted on WHO must do WHAT at the civil society level. In the numerous conflict situation of the African continent, it was noted that development could not be carried out. Regarding certain aspects, the participants pointed out that cultural aspects could represent an obstacle to development. The role of external partners in development was judged negative. Between various causes of poverty aside from the ones listed in the working document, we note the absence of education and training and certain cultural problems.
