While emergency programmes like the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) can provide temporary liquidity relief, Africa needs to reduce its reliance on external borrowings and mobilise domestic capital if it wants to dig itself out of the debt trap.

Towards sustainable finance in Africa

[Ngone Diop @NgoneDiop9]

Africa’s climate finance needs are huge. African Group of Negotiators called for $1,3 trillion/year #climate finance to be made available from 2025. Target far from being met. Only 20% of the $80 billion climate finance from developed countries went to Africa

Gender smart is #climate smart. If private climate investors want to achieve a just transition, they must get intentional about #gender equality. A 1% increase in the share of female managers can lead to a 0.5% decrease in CO2 emissions. See for yourself: https://t.co/E3a7QKZ9rB
