She added that resource management across the continent was essential.

“Resource management is very key. Because if we are not managing our resources properly, our people will continue to live in poverty. And that we must make sure it does not continue,” Nandi-Ndaitwah said.

Her comments come as African nations face increasing pressure to address climate change, water scarcity, and sustainable development challenges.
