AFRODEBT Volume 11

As the global pandemic threatens to cause irreparable damage to economies and citizens’ lives across the African continent, we are reminded of the urgent need to put people before profits and recall the spirit of Pan-Africanism as we strive to “Build Forward Together”. It is in this regard that the African Civil Society Forum on Sovereign Debt which was organised by the African Sovereign Debt Justice Network (AfSDJN), AFRODAD) and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation – AU Cooperation Office held a meeting on 8th March 2021 to tackle concerning public debt levels across the continent in advance of the Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development that was held on 17-23 March 2021. Have a look at the meeting’s brief introduction and the statement to Ministers of Finance in English, French and Portuguese. Proceed to our newsletter for March 2021 and the summary video here.
