We saw last week just how @WorldBank & @IMFnews have been unable to respond adequately to the crises the world is facing. 📢 Decision making on global economic governance must be moved to @UN, where all countries are represented on an equal footing. #FfD4People #FdFForum2026

At #FfDForum2026, Emma Burgisser @CA_global pointed to a system where debt, ratings & governance are driven by creditor interests over development needs. ‼️Stronger global macroeconomic coordination, reforms to the global financial safety net SDRs & a UN credit rating agency.

Let us unite in prayer and advocacy this Week of prayer for Christian Unity. Where there is war, pray for the restoration of peace. Where we are divided, draw us together. Where suffering is ignored, stir us to act. Together we can shine a light on injustices around the world.
