It was an honor to host the Horn of Africa Initiative Ministerial Roundtable, an important coalition of Ministers of Finance for promoting stability & dev’t. It has played a countercyclical role in promoting cooperation w/support of @AfDB_Group, @EU_Partnerships & @worldbank 1/2

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

"Rapid, inclusive, resilient, and green economic growth requires an empowered population. Therefore providing the skills and training needed for youth and access to finance must be central to what we do." @TJMuzira at the #AfDBEvalWeek session on Human and Socal Development.

[Karen Rot-Munstermann @KarenRotM]

'@vcZambezi adds that the changing composition of debt (bilateral debt⬇️, commercial debt ⬆️) complicates the coordination of debt resolution. @AfDB_Group provides technical assistance to African countries.

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

"Every year 10-12 million more young people enter the labor market, but only 1.5 million #jobs are created in Africa" @AU_YouthEnvoy Chido Mpemba during the #AfDBEvalWeek session on human and social development. @evaluationafdb @AfDB_Group https://t.co/5Ld3k5JwvD

[IDEV AfDB @evaluationafdb]

Les #évaluations montrent que le taux de retour sur #investissement d'une année de #scolarité supplémentaire dans les pays à faible revenu est de 16 % .

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

David Huysman from @ILOAfrica notes that apart from #unemployment, "there is a crisis of #job quality in Africa. Jobs are largely informal, offer no social protection, and no personal growth opportunities for the #youth." join the conversation https://t.co/5Ld3k5IYG5

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

Happening now, the last session of #AfDBEvalWeek Banking on the people of Africa: Improving human and social development. Join @AU_YouthEnvoy as well as @Sajilu @TJMuzira and David Huysman from ILO for an engaging discussion https://t.co/oNqEWhcDRW

[Karen Rot-Munstermann @KarenRotM]

@vcZambezi @AfDB_Group '@JasonBraganza1: the revenue side is also important, as are legal frameworks governing how governments borrow. Parliaments, auditors-general and public accounts committees have a role to play. Regional and continental initiatives can also help.

[Dr. Rufael Fassil @RufaelFassil]

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

During a session on debt burden in Africa, Jeff Chelsky from @WorldBank_IEG noted "when it comes to borrowed resources, it matters what you spend it on. Public investment management in Africa needs to be supported as much as public debt management." @evaluationafdb @AfDB_Group

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

@JasonBraganza1 speaking from the CSO perspective on Africa's debt burden at #AfDBEvalWeek said that "the human dimension is not being felt yet. Are we undermining Africa's demographic dividend by saddling its youth with a huge debt burden?" https://t.co/5Ld3k5JwvD

[Dieter Gijsbrechts @dieter_g]

During a special session on debt burdens in Africa during #AfDBEvalWEek @vcZambezi highlighted that "because of the current nature and composition of debt in African countries, coordination of debt relief presents a particular challenge" @AfDB_Group
