Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The government of Ghana has presented four recommendations to the global financial architecture on how Africa could accelerate poverty reduction and restore its countries to the SDGs.<\/b><\/p>\n

These four recommendations proposed by the government of Ghana included; access to scaling up affordable and long term financing of the SDGs agenda, a relook at the existing conversation about \u2018\u2019crisis response punishment\u2019\u2019 from rating agencies, the deliberate pursuance of Debt relieve efforts like the G20 framework, and the International Financial Architecture assisting developing countries with de-risking instruments.<\/p>\n

Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Minister for Information, made this known at a side meeting on Sustainable Development Goals on Poverty Reduction at the ongoing 2023 Annual Meetings of the IMF and World Bank Group in Marrakesh. The meeting was aimed at providing African Ministers an opportunity to share their ideas on how to accelerate poverty reduction on the continent.<\/p>\n

Africa has made great efforts in driving the global climate agenda. This is demonstrated by the very high levels of ratification of the Paris Agreement \u2013 over 90%. Many African nations have committed to transitioning to green energy within a relatively short time frame. Clean energy and agriculture are, for example, prioritized in over 70% of African NDCs.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, in spite of the above, Africa continues to fall off the agenda of the SDGs due to her inability to adequately and effectively finance her response to crises as well as her SDG agenda.<\/p>\n

The solution to the myriad of challenges impeding the achievement of SDGs targets on the continent were known to all, but what was lacking was financing them in the face of limited resources.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We know what to do on the SDGs, but the challenge is the financing in the midst of the current circumstances\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

According to a report by UNECA, as many as 149 million non-poor remained at high risk of falling into poverty in 2022 implying that 10 percent of African\u2019s population were vulnerable to fall into 2022.<\/p>\n

Regarding recommendation by the government of Ghana on access to affordable and long term financing of the SDGs agenda, the Minister emphasized remained paramount to provide respite for countries that were already in debt distress.<\/p>\n

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah underscored the need for the global financial architecture to tackle the high cost of debt and rising risks of debt distress of African countries by converting short-term, high interest borrowing into long-term debt at lower interest rates.<\/p>\n

He disclosed the urgency to massively scale up affordable long-term financing for development, especially through public development banks (PDBs), including multilateral development banks (MDBs), and by aligning all financing flows with the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Again, he called for a relook at the existing conversation about \u2018\u2019crisis response punishment\u2019\u2019 from rating agencies. He regretted how rating agencies downgraded developing economies for the effect of their responses to climate changes and other exigencies.<\/p>\n

The Information Minister echoed Moody\u2019s and Micron\u2019s recommendations for interest and principal payments to be adjusted during crises, and urged vigorous implementation of this proposal.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, he stated Ghana proposes that ,the Debt relieve efforts like the G20 framework should be pursued. The Common Framework for debt treatment beyond the DSSI was an initiative endorsed by the G20, together with the Paris Club, to support, in a structural manner, Low Income Countries with unsustainable debt.<\/p>\n

The government of Ghana\u2019s final recommendation was on the need for the International Financial Architecture to assist developing countries with de-risking instruments.<\/p>\n

This, he said could be be achieved through a range of measures such as debt, equity and guarantees, spreading the risk between participating parties or transferring the risk to a third party. Public financial institutions play a critical role in de-risking, as they provide the de-risking capital, instrument or mechanism.<\/p>\n

Present at the meeting were Rt Hon. Andrew Mitchell, MP, UK, Foreign Commonwealth and Development office, (FCDO) selected African Ministers, Civil Society Organizations and leaders of the Climate vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n

Ghana is part of countries currently participating in the Annual Meetings of the IMF and World Bank Group in Marrakesh in Morocco.<\/p>\n
