I think the President summed it up well on his trip to Ghana when he said that African
problems need African solutions. We stand ready to work with young Africans to improve
their lot. I think that the First Lady’s visits, the trips by Secretary Clinton, are
reinforcing this message. Now what we have to do, we – our Embassies in countries – is
to work with our local partners, our European allies, with other interested stakeholders,
with the people of the country – both government and private sector, and civil society – to
see how we can help them to operationalize finding African solutions. First of all, of
defining these problems in terms that they understand and accept, and then, finding solutions
that work.
