The 14th African Summit has decided to establish the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA) as a replacement for the NEPAD secretariat. The NPCA was originally meant to facilitate the implementation and coordination of continental and regional programs and projects, as well as help mobilize Africa's resources.
The change will promote the integration of the new NEPAD into structures already in place in Africa, and will hopefully help improve the continent's situation.
Hopefully the improvement of NEPAD will bleed down into promoting stability in Nigeria. One of the major issues Africa has always faced is division, but the African Summits have been good for helping unity. If the continent manages to come together, then the political situations should at least make motions toward lasting stability. Of course the micro here will ultimately be key, but the macro of Africa as a whole cannot be ignored.
