As urgent global issues dominate #UNGA81, critical work is also happening behind the scenes.

@UNDP, @UNOSAA, @ECA_Official & @AfDB_Group met to discuss how to urgently scale support to African countries on sovereign credit ratings.

With the African Credit Rating Agency now established, it is urgent to scale up capacity-building support so countries can engage effectively, strengthen their credit profiles and access more affordable capital.
