    SUBJECT: THE ABUJA SULLIVAN SUMMIT WAS A SUCCESS

    ¶1. Summary:  The Sixth Leon H. Sullivan Summit,
    convened July 12-17 in Abuja was momentous and
    successful.  The overarching Summit theme was "Africa:
    A Continent of Possibilities" and the week lived up to
    its name.  President Bush, the first Republican
    President to visit Africa, made a historic address to
    open the Summit.  Hosted by Nigerian President
    Obasanjo the Summit was attended by approximately 15
    African Heads of State, important private sector
    figures and representatives from NGOs and academia who
    came to the event to strengthen the relationships
    between Africans and Americans in the key areas of
    business, trade and investment, education, health and
    agriculture.  The late Rev. Sullivan's legacy of self-
    help and bridge-building across the Atlantic was
    affirmed by the Summiteers, including President George
    Bush in his opening remarks.  In addition to Secretary
    Powell, National Security Advisor Rice and White House
    Chief of Staff Card who were part of the President's
    delegation, the Summit was well attended by senior USG
    officials, representing the U.S. Agency for
    International Development (USAID), the U.S. Trade
    Representative (USTR), the Department of
    Transportation (DOT), and the Department of Energy
    (DOE).  Ambassador Jeter hosted a welcome reception
    for the Summit delegation.  End Summary).

    --------------------------------
    THE SETTING: QUITE AN ASSEMBLAGE
    --------------------------------

    ¶2.  The Sixth Sullivan Summit gathered together an
    expressive roster of government and private sector
    personalities and talent from both sides of the
    Atlantic.  Thirty-one African countries were
    represented by Heads of State or other senior
    government officials including President Obasanjo,
    Senegal President Wade, Mozambique Chissano (current
    African Union Chairman), President Kerekou of Benin,
    Namibian Prime Minister Gurirab, Burkinabe President
    Compaore, President Kufuor of Ghana, Gambian President
    Jammeh, President de Menezes of Sao Tome and Principe,
    President Mkapa of Tanzania, President Nguema of
    Equatorial Guinea, Togo's Eyadema, and even embattled
    President Mugabe of Zimbabwe attended the event
    (probably in an attempt to lessen his growing
    political isolation).

    ¶3.  In addition to paying tribute to Rev. Sullivan,
    the African leaders energetically discussed the
    panoply of development challenges facing their
    countries and their continent.  American and Nigerian
    corporate leaders were represented in significant
    numbers, described their interventions in support of
    development in Africa, and made commitments to
    continue their efforts, including to help prevent the
    spread of HIV/AIDS and other preventable diseases,
    increase the use of information technology, and
    improve food security.  A bit of Hollywood luster was
    added by the attendance of actors Chris Tucker (Rush
    Hour) and Joseph Phillips (The Cosby Show).

    ¶4.  The more than 600 delegates participated in
    plenary sessions and workshops that produced
    actionable recommendations building on agreements from
    earlier Summits and other global fora.
    Recommendations in the thematic areas of agriculture,
    health, education, and energy, trade and investment
    are intended to expand public-private partnerships to
    produce healthier and more educated populations in
    Africa, increase cooperation between Africa and the
    United States, and enhance Africa's position in the
    global economy.   The Summit recommendations will be
    issued as a Summit Action Resolution and cited on the
    Summit website at www.thesummit.org.

    --------------------------------------------- -
    PRESIDENT BUSH: OPENS THE SUMMIT/SETS THE PACE
    --------------------------------------------- -

    ¶5.  In a historic first for the Summit, the sitting
    President of the United States opened the affair.
    President Bush eulogized Rev. Sullivan and reaffirmed
    key components of our Africa policy - the Millennium
    Challenge Account (MCA), the PMTCT, the Emergency AIDS
    Initiative, and anti-terrorism.  He also announced a
    grant of $5 million dollars to one of Rev. Sullivan's
    organizations, the International Foundation for
    Education and Self Help (IFESH) to support teacher
    training.  President Bush was accompanied by Mrs.
    Bush, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National
    Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice, and White House
    Chief of Staff Andrew Card.  Other senior officials of
    the Bush Administration were also in attendance,
    including Assistant Secretary of State for African
    Affairs, Walter Kansteiner, Senior Advisor on Africa
    to the President Jendayi Frazer, Assistant
    Administrator, Bureau for Africa at USAID Constance
    Berry Newman and Assistant Administrator, Bureau for
    Global Health at USAID Anne Peterson.

    ¶6.  Before President Bush's address, President
    Obasanjo delivered brief remarks welcoming the
    delegates to Abuja and acknowledging the great
    contributions Reverend Sullivan had made strengthening
    the relationship between Africa and America.  Hope
    Sullivan, President and CEO of the Sullivan
    Foundation, acknowledged the many American and
    Nigerian corporate sponsors of the Summit, including
    Chevron Texaco, Exxon Mobil, Shell, Archer Daniels
    Midland, Chrome Energy Corp., Coca Cola, Sea,
    Petroleum and Gas, World Airways, SunTrust Oil, and
    USAID.

    ¶7.  On July 14, Ambassador Andrew Young, Summit
    Chairman and Chairman of the Sullivan Foundation and
    Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar addressed the
    opening plenary session.  Young stated that Africa is
    the missing cog in the world economy.  He stressed
    that realization of Rev. Sullivan's dream of building
    a bridge between Africa and America would promote
    mutual development that will make use of the
    heretofore untapped resources and wealth on the
    African continent.  After welcoming the delegates to
    the "emerging city of Abuja," Vice President Abubakar
    stated that democracy will endure in Nigeria and that
    the Obasanjo administration will pursue new
    investments, infrastructure enhancement, capital
    growth, and enabling environment.  He further stated
    that Nigeria is removing barriers to investment,
    banking practices are being liberalized, severe anti-
    corruption laws are being implemented and a level
    economic playing field is being created.

    ¶8.  The Summit theme, "Africa: A Continent of
    Possibilities" was explored through the lens of four
    themes: 1) Agriculture, 2) Health, 3) Education, and
    4) Energy, Trade and Investment.  Summit organizers
    emphasized that each theme is integral to sustainable
    development and economic growth and urged delegates to
    make forward-looking and pragmatic recommendations
    that will have practical application.

    ---------------------------------------
    AGRICULTURE: MAKING FOOD MORE PLENTIFUL
    ---------------------------------------

    ¶9.  Discussion of agriculture, held on July 14,
    consisted of a plenary and three break-out sessions.
    Plenary speakers were Dr. Walter Hill, Tuskegee
    University, Nigerian Agriculture Minister Bello, Ms.
    Eva Clayton, FAO and South African Agricultural
    Minister Didiza.  Break-out sessions focussed on
    Biotechnology and its Impact on Food Security and
    Sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa; Reducing Hunger
    in Africa; and Models of Successful Agribusiness
    Development and Trade in Africa.

    ¶10.  Speakers in the plenary and break-out sessions
    made significant points, including: a) poverty,
    environmental degradation and malnutrition rob African
    nations of vitality and the opportunity to develop
    their people and resources; b) science and technology,
    (currently constrained by low funding in most African
    nations), improved application of best practices can
    make a significant difference in tackling Africa's
    chronic malnutrition and poverty; c) food security is
    a paramount issue for the security of states; d)
    agriculture is central to poverty reduction, but faces
    the challenges of low increases in yield, low input,
    and little value-added processing; e) women play a
    critical role in agriculture in Africa; f) and NEPAD
    is a concrete demonstration of African collective
    political will to promote agriculture and economic
    development in general.

    ¶11.  Agriculture recommendations included: a) science
    and technology in agriculture (e.g., through research)
    needs to be addressed by encouraging both private-and
    public-sector investment; b) women's role in
    agricultural production must be enhanced and
    safeguarded; c) biotechnology must factor n an overall
    strategy to promote agriculture growth and assure food
    security; d) a strategy to expand the role of the
    private sector and the potential of expanded use of
    science and technology needs to be developed; and e)
    Africa must create an environment that encourages
    private-sector investment in small-scale farming.
    More information on the Agriculture presentations and
    recommendations will be available on the Summit
    website at www.thesummit.org.

    HEALTH: LONGER, BETTER LIVES
    ----------------------------

    ¶12.  The Health Plenary, held on July 14, featured Dr.
    Anne Peterson, Assistant Administrator, Bureau for
    Global Health, USAID, South African Health Minister
    Tshabalala-Msimang, Professor Babatounde Osotimehin,

    SIPDIS
    Chairman, National Action Committee on AIDS, Nigeria,
    Dr. Eamon Kelly, IFESH Board of Directors, and Jay
    Pryor, Chevron Nigeria.   Break-out sessions were held
    on these topics: Mobilizing the Needed Leadership in
    the Fight Against HIV/AIDS; Rolling Back Malaria;
    Nutrition and Food Security; and MEDHELP Foundation's
    Open Heart Surgery.

    ¶13.  Plenary and break-out session speakers addressed
    the nexus between health and development,
    acknowledging the threat to sustainable development
    caused by the prevalence of debilitating illnesses and
    the general deterioration of national health
    infrastructures, despite undoubted advances in some
    areas.  They pointed to the many key determinants of
    health and disease that lie outside the direct control
    of the health sector: water and sanitation, education,
    agriculture, employment, environment, trade, tourism,
    energy, housing, security, as well as technology.
    Speakers urged the use of affordable technologies to
    assist HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support.
    Peterson, in particular, aligned the need for adequate
    investments in health with national policies on
    poverty reduction.  Speakers called for stable and
    high-quality assistance and public-private
    partnerships to combat poverty, HIV/AIDS, food
    insecurity, gender inequalities, other priority
    development issues, and to move Africa toward the
    millennium development goals (MDGs).

    ¶14.  Health recommendations were made in each break-
    out session and they include:  a) African governments
    should create enabling environments for stakeholders
    to meet key national, regional and international
    health goals (e.g. MDGs and the Abuja Declaration on
    Fighting HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria);  b)
    African and US governments, businesses and
    international PVOs/NGOs; c) African and US governments
    and development partners should ensure that model
    multi-sector approaches to address health challenges
    are implemented and assessed including what does not
    work, in addressing African health problems; the
    information should be widely shared using information
    technology; e) All African development partners should
    provide more support for research and scientifically
    tested utilization of African traditional medicine,
    keeping in mind the need for local patent protection
    of any medicines  produced; and g) The Sullivan Summit
    should use its web site to highlight innovative
    partnerships that effectively address HIV/AIDS and
    other African health challenges.  More information on
    the health presentations and recommendations will be
    available on the Summit website at www.thesummit.org.

    --------------------------------
    EDUCATION: THE NEED TO KEEP PACE
    --------------------------------

    ¶15.  Education sessions were held July 15.  Dr.
    Frederick Humphries, President and CEO, National
    Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education
    (NAFEO) chaired the plenary panel of distinguished
    speakers:  Mr. Julius Harvey, Vice President, Chevron
    Texaco's West Africa Products; Mr. Noureini Tidjani-
    Serpos, Assistant Director-General, Africa Department,
    UNESCO, Paris; Honorable Constance Berry Newman,
    Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Africa, USAID; and
    Mr. Michael Omolewa, Permanent Representative of
    Nigeria, UNESCO, Paris.  At the end of the plenary
    session, Chevron Texaco committed $5 million to the
    Sullivan Foundation for the Books for Africa Program.

    ¶16.  Break-out session topics were: Institutionalized
    Development Collaboration Between Historically Black
    Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and African Colleges
    and Universities; Prioritizing Universal Primary
    Education and Gender Equality; Utilizing Information
    Technology and the Training of Trainers in
    Strengthening Basic Education; and the Role of the
    Private Sector and NGOs in Capacity Building.

    ¶17.  Plenary and Break-out speakers identified
    challenges and trends that warrant further
    consideration for educational development in Africa
    and examined potential strategic US/Africa
    partnerships, with an emphasis on women and children.
    Many substantive points were made, including the
    following summary items: a) despite improvements
    within the past decade, inadequate access and quality,
    particularly for girls continue to hinder education in
    Africa; b) Africa has the lowest school enrollment
    rates in the world, with a corollary of low literacy
    rates; c) equal access to education is key in
    eradicating gender inequality; d) education is a
    precursor to an increasingly skilled workforce, a
    strong civil society, and economic growth; e) many
    African countries will not achieve Education for All
    goals by the 2015 target; f) holistic education in
    indigenous learning contexts is important along with
    the need to educate communities of people; and, g)
    various commitments by donors and the private sector
    can assist Africa to achieve qualitative education for
    all: the U.S. Presidential initiative, the African
    Education Initiative (AEI), UNESCO's efforts to
    eradicate gender inequality, and Shell's scholarships
    to students.

    ¶18.  Education recommendations included: 1) African
    countries need to commit more resources to education;
    2) the NEPAD Secretariat should develop an education
    action plan, addressing advocacy, measuring success,
    teacher training, support counseling, and production
    of resource materials; 3) HBCUs should establish
    linkages with African and Caribbean universities,
    particularly through a network of international
    virtual universities that will employ technology
    transfer, teacher training, etc.; 4) address gender
    inequalities through aggressive campaigns; and, 5)
    Summit and international organizations should  post
    and adopt best practices in capacity building at the
    community level.  More information about the Education
    presentations and recommendations will be posted on
    the Summit website at www.thesummit.org.

    --------------------------------------------
    ENERGY, TRADE AND INVESTMENT-PATHS TO GROWTH
    --------------------------------------------

    ¶19.  The Energy, Trade and Investment sessions were

    and AGOA; Energy-Potential and Possibilities; and The
    Potential of Investment Opportunities.

    ¶20.  Vice President Abubakar pointed to tremendous
    investment opportunities not only in Nigeria's energy
    sector but in agriculture, solid minerals, cement,
    fertilizer and tourism.  He announced that the GON
    will privatize industries in the energy sector and has
    started this process by unbundling for the mammoth
    state-owned electric company, NEPA.  Atiku applauded
    the United States' AGOA partnership with Africa and
    welcomed the extension of the Act by the Bush
    Administration; he said Nigeria's textile industry was
    well positioned to take advantage of AGOA.  He
    recommended that United States companies should invest
    more in Nigeria's energy sector, especially in the
    natural gas sector and that United States
    entrepreneurs should invest in and develop non-oil
    sectors such as agriculture, petrochemicals, solid
    minerals and tourism.

    ¶21.  The main points and recommendations that emerged
    from the Energy, Trade and Investment sessions
    included the following:
    -- a) Speakers acknowledged that Nigeria will be at
    the forefront of deepwater oil and gas extraction over
    the next ten years, that Nigeria's local and regional
    gas markets have yet to be tapped, and oil development
    will remain strong for the foreseeable future;
    -- b) Nigerians must take advantage of the transfer of
    explorative and extractive technologies;
    -- c) Nigeria must develop its local gas market
    through investor incentives;
    -- d) The Gulf of Guinea will likely supply the United
    States with 25% of its crude oil by 2010, therefore,
    the region must make the country's bidding process and
    regulations more transparent and predictable;
    -- e) Nigeria should encourage investment in coal,
    uranium and gas sectors.
    -- f) Nigeria should stoke investment in non-oil
    industries, such as agriculture and mineral resources,
    by offering investors tax and import incentive in
    order to create more wealth and stability in the
    country;
    -- g) The GON must pass the required legislation to
    become AGOA eligible;
    -- h) The GON should provide concession incentives to
    gas, petrochemical and fertilizer companies to
    encourage development;
    -- i) Nigerian businessmen should use OPIC, the
    Export-Import Bank and the U.S. Trade and Development
    Authority to a greater extent for greater access to
    much needed investment insurance, capital and training
    opportunities;
    -- j) the United States should name Nigeria an area of
    vital strategic importance;
    -- k) African American and Nigerian businessmen should
    forge closer business links through the Black Caucus
    Foundation, the Sullivan Foundation or other
    organizations that promote African interests; and
    -- l) Western donors should contribute to NEPAD and
    partner with Africa countries as part of an
    overarching program to bring prosperity and peace to
    Africa.

    PRESIDENTIAL PLENARY
    --------------------

    ¶22.  The Presidential Plenary was held on July 16.
    Led by President Obasanjo of Nigeria, the African
    Presidents expressed hope that the Summit would lead
    to greater corporate investment in Africa.  President
    Kerekou of Benin emphasized the cultural ties between
    Africa and the U.S., the need for more cooperation
    between HBCUs and African Universities, and praised
    AGOA as a way of increasing trade and NEPAD as a
    framework for effective action.  President Wade also
    held up the vision of  NEPAD as one of good governance
    and involvement of the private sector.  He stated
    that, a plan created by African decision-makers has a
    better chance of being implemented than one prepared
    by a technical expert.  Citing that the private sector
    developed the U.S. Europe and Japan, he said it can
    also develop Africa.  Having hosted the Summit of 1997
    in Zimbabwe, President Mugabe paid tribute to Rev.
    Sullivan and stressed the need for NEPAD.  However,
    his message, although in support of a good cause, also
    came with a touch of malice.  He asked the Summiteers
    to support NEPAD in order to "help Africans become
    ourselves.  Help us not to be puppets."

    ¶23.  The coup in Sao Tome added unexpected drama to
    the Presidential Plenary.  Timing the coup with
    President de Menezes' absence may have been convenient
    for the putschists to achieve their takeover; however,
    it was terrible timing as far as the diplomatic public
    backlash to their action.  Not only did the Summit
    produce a convenient venue for the Heads of State to
    privately confer about the coup, each Head of State
    that ascended the rostrum condemned this arrogation,
    sending a clear message that coups were no longer
    acceptable practice in Africa.  When President de
    Menezes rose to speak, the audience erupted in
    applause and gave him a standing ovation.  He stated
    that, although already in Abuja, he decided not to
    attend the Summit after the coup was staged.  However,
    President Obasanjo persuaded him to attend the Summit
    to demonstrate that he was not cowed and to make a
    strong public appeal against this undemocratic action.

    ¶23.  Other African leaders spoke at the ceremonial
    Final Funeral Rites of Rev. Leon Sullivan held on July
    ¶17.  The ceremony was steeped in tradition as numerous
    traditional funeral dances were performed.  It was a
    very touching and moving occasion.
