On todays #ZambiaKuChalo

Sending a message of support and solidarity to our own, Dr. Samuel Munzele Maimbo @maimbofinance, on his bid for the Presidency of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in the May 2025 elections. Dr. Maimbo, who is the current Vice President - Budget, Performance Review and Strategic Planning of the World Bank has already been endorsed by SADC as the region’s supported candidate. Given his credentials there’s no doubt he will deliver if elected #Zambia

[Afrifem Macroeconomics Collective @NawiAfrica]

Why should African women care about public debt?

1.The costs of servicing debt are disproportionately borne by women, while the funds borrowed are rarely spent in ways that prioritise women’s rights.

2. Labour rights, or lack thereof, regressive taxation regimes are other ways in which debt is damaging to the economic well-being of women in Africa.

3. Women are disproportionately hired into civil service jobs and when they are hired, they are segregated in the lowest, most vulnerable positions and if the ship were to sink, they are often the first ones to lose their jobs.

4. The pressure to service debts at the expense of development goals allows for increased revenue seeking by governments which often results in increased indirect tax such as VAT, which is regressive and carries a disproportionate impact on women.

Meet @vanessa_vash, a passionate Ugandan climate activist who has taken the global stage by storm. #AfricaEnvironmentDay

Vanessa's advocacy focuses on the disproportionate impact of climate change on African communities and the need for equitable solutions. #WangariMaathaiDay

She's a voice for the voiceless, fighting for the inclusion of African voices in global climate conversations. Her relentless dedication inspires many to join the climate movement and push for systemic change.

[Mia Amor Mottley @miaamormottley]

At #UNGA, I called on Ghanaian Reggae artiste Rocky Dawuni's music and asked, "How many roads we had to walk, just to make it to the door only to be told we were too late?"

Time is short. Yes we've made progress. But we must act now to ensure we aren't too late to save tomorrow.
