Commitment 6:
This commitment calls for accelerated economic, social and
human resource development in Africa and the least developed countries. To this end,
structural adjustment policies should include social development goals. Support should
be given to economic reforms and food security programmes, and a solution to the
debt problem should be addressed. Governments are also called on to support reform
efforts and programmes chosen by the African and least developed countries.
Brackets in this commitment are confined to a single contentious paragraph, which
calls for a [realistic], [effective], [equitable, development-oriented, durable] [and
sustainable] solution [on all types of debt], through cancellation [or reduction] of
bilateral debt.
