Africa owes less than 2% of global debt, yet many African countries face some of the world’s highest borrowing costs. What does this mean for jobs, businesses, investment, and economic growth? Join LEAF Africa’s Webinar on Thursday June 11, 2026, at 2 PM WAT.

Walking off the pitch is "not a good look for African football". Cheating the entire tournament is though.

Senegal didn’t allow anyone rig their elections and certainly didn’t allow the game to be rigged. I hope this teaches Nigerians a thing or two.

The #ADMM is consistent with the AU’s Agenda 2063 and the Abuja Treaty on the establishment of the African Financial Architecture. It is a critical component of the debt restructuring reform agenda and provides a coherent, coordinated approach to debt restructuring in a unified front. It will boost efforts to challenge the biased credit ratings our economies face from the Big Three CRAs. This political direction is key to the sovereignty of financial markets, credit ratings, and debt transparency & accountability.” ➡️2cm.es/1lpi3 #AfricaRuleMaker #AfricaEconomicJustice #YearInReview

‼️THREAD‼️ 🎉🎉🎉#YearInReview ➡️AFRODAD is super proud to have been part of advocacy efforts towards the African Debt Monitoring Mechanism (ADMM). The ADMM was officially adopted for operationalisation as a virtual platform at the 8th Steering Technical Committee Meeting (29th September/ 3rd October 2025 in Johannesburg). This followed 2 years of advocacy, in collaboration with @fes_au & the @AU_ETTIM . The ADMM is a comprehensive, harmonised debt database with African-led debt reporting standards, operated by the @_AfricanUnion . It will systematically track, analyse, and report on the debt situation of AU Member States, enabling timely identification of emerging debt vulnerabilities. #AfricaRuleMaker #AfricaEconomicJustice

Nice to make (for the eighth time) the @Forbes List of the 100 most powerful women of the world 2025 and to be on the cover of the magazine. With power comes responsibility! We are doing our best to fight for and reform the rules-based multilateral trading system which the world needs to avoid a chaotic approach to world trade that would hurt the smallest and the least powerful countries. Congratulations to all my sisters on the list, and in particular my African sisters, HE Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, President of Namibia @SWAPOPRESIDENT, HE @SuminwaJudith, PM of DRC, Mpumi Madisa, CEO of Bidvest, @MoAbudu, CEO EbonyLife Group and HE @miaamormottley, PM of Barbados.

Underrated advice: Don't sacrifice your goals to network. Because if you accomplish your goals, you’ll have even more to offer and the network will be there for you. But the reverse isn’t true. Keep the main thing the main thing.
