Carlos Lopes, Exec. Sec. Uneca - Guinea Bissau

This Guinea-Bissauan is emerging as one of Africa’s thought leaders. Taking an intellectual and pragmatic approach to problem solving as the head of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, Lopes is responsible for ensuring the institution becomes a key pillar in Africa’s development policies. His views on African policy are solicited by many leaders, inside and outside of Africa. As a respected development and strategic specialist who has spent a number of years working closely with, and contributing to research on issues of governance and development, his tenure at Uneca is always going to attract watchful eyes.

“We must be the first to admit that there is still a lot more to be done...development challenges still abound...our narrative is still very much generated from outside.”
