The big question facing the G-8/OECD is this: do they share Nepad's value system of a genuine new partnership based on mutual accountability and trust? Is the industrialised north willing to experience structural adjustment in agriculture, textiles, footwear, clothing, coal, steel or whatever, for the sake of Africa's development? There needs to be agreement on criteria against which to evaluate partners' performance. And there needs to be a set of benchmarks to see whether Nepad is making a real difference, says this editorial from South Africa's Business Day newspaper.
