MADAGASCAR:
The representative from Madagascar said that
within the CSD the execution of the multi-year thematic programme
of work is crucial and the complexity of environment and
development problems demands an integrated approach. The problem of
financing sustainable development activities is the key to the
success of Agenda 21 and Madagascar regrets the "wait and see"
attitude of many developed countries. Madagascar welcomed the
establishment of the two CSD ad hoc intersessional working groups
on technology transfer and finance and counts on them to come up
with action-oriented policy initiatives. Partnership is essential
in implementing Agenda 21. Madagascar hopes that the spirit of
political commitment shown at the first session of the CSD is
preserved.
