Trust is the foundation of effective governance, and rebuilding it must begin with delivering on the needs of our people.

Today, I had the opportunity to address the Nairobi Dialogue on Global Trust. The Trust Summit, where I emphasised the urgent need to restore the social contract between governments and citizens through transparency, accountability, respect for human rights and improved public service delivery.

Africa has enormous potential, with US$4 trillion in domestic capital and a growing youth population. Unlocking this potential requires strong institutions, responsible leadership and renewed trust in our governance systems.

Our success will not be measured by the conversations we have, but by the concrete actions we take beyond this Summit.

Before asking whom we trust, @Uwihanganye_A turned the question inward at The Trust Summit: am I trusted myself? Trust, he argued, is a decision we keep earning through promises kept, one leader at a time.

Read our reflection on his opening address and what it means for the LéO Africa Institute's work in leadership.

A vision delivered. A promise honoured. 🌍

The historic launch of the African Credit Rating Agency (@AfCRA_Official) marks a new chapter in Africa’s pursuit of financial sovereignty and economic transformation.

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Government and people of Mauritius, @_AfricanUnion Member States, our partners, stakeholders and the @APRMorg team, past and present, whose dedication and collective efforts have turned this African vision into reality.

This is not the end of our journey, but the beginning of a new chapter for Africa.

Thank you for believing in Africa’s vision. Africa’s time is now!

I was pleased to receive the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the African Credit Rating Agency (@AfCRA_Official) during a courtesy visit to the @APRMorg offices, following the successful launch of the Agency in Mauritius on 7 October 2026.

Our discussions centred on the importance of sustainable funding and preserving AfCRA’s independence, credibility and transparency as the Agency moves towards full operationalisation.

I also appreciated the thoughtful gesture of presenting a commemorative memento in recognition of the APRM team’s dedication and hard work in making the launch a success.

The establishment of AfCRA represents an important milestone in advancing Africa’s financial sovereignty and strengthening African-led institutions.

@_AfricanUnion Thank you for your support throughout this journey my dear good sister DCP. Your steadfast leadership and strong sense of collaboration continues to strengthen our institutions.

[Amb. Marie-Antoinette Rose Quatre @APRM_MarieRose]

When I joined the @APRMorg in 2024, I was entrusted with a challenging mandate: to help operationalise the Africa Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA). Today, standing before distinguished leaders, partners, and friends of Africa, I was proud to say: we delivered.

This journey was never about creating another institution. It was about ensuring that Africa has the capacity to assess its own economic realities with fairness, credibility, and independence.
I am deeply grateful to the APRM team, our Member States, strategic partners, and everyone who believed in this vision even when many thought it impossible.

The launch of #AfCRA is proof that when Africa works together with purpose and conviction, we can create solutions that serve our continent for generations to come.

AfCRA is now a Vision Delivered and a Promise Honoured.

Such a pleasure to be back in Mauritius and to reconnect with my sister, Hon. Jyoti Jeetun, Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, ahead of the Annual African Credit Ratings Conference.

We discussed the highly anticipated launch of the African Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA) on 7 October, a historic milestone for Africa’s financial architecture.

I also commended the Honourable Minister and expressed my sincere appreciation to the Government and people of Mauritius for their gracious hospitality and continued support as we prepare for this important moment.

I'm excited about the launch of the African Credit Rating Agency (#AfCRA) on 7 October.

This is a tangible step toward correcting exaggerated risk perceptions and biased credit ratings that affect borrowing costs for #Africa, while ensuring fairness.
