‼️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

With 6 plenary sessions, 16 side sessions, the #PanAfricanRally, and 8 short explainer videos, the #AfCoDDV message reached an estimated 945 million people between August - December 2025; thus amplifying Africa’s call for dignity, sovereignty, and #systemicReforms. It was not just a conference. It was a #movement; and it’s only the beginning! #AfricaRuleMaker #YearInReview

#YearInReview #Flagships ‼️THREAD‼️ AfCoDD V 🇬🇭 In August 2025, #AfCoDDV transformed Accra into a continental centre of power, dialogue, and mobilisation. It was AFRODAD’s largest convening to date. It brought together civil society, policymakers, parliamentarians, youth, and activists from across the continent to demand a #just global financial architecture. Beyond high-level policy dialogue, AfCoDD V strengthened continental solidarity and advanced concrete alternatives on #debt, #reparations, and #economicJustice. #AfricaRuleMaker

@amenya_nelson @johnallannamu Learn from Estonia (citizen-owned data) & Botswana (buying back assets). We can redraw our own maps. Time to demand real sovereignty over our health data – no vague “cooperation” that extracts value and leaves crumbs. #DataScrambleKE #AfricaFirst #JohnAllanNamu

"Now more than ever, we need to start rethinking Debt as more than a Financial Instrument. Debt is often treated as a mere financial tool, but in Kenya and many other countries, it can function as an instrument of oppression. Its impacts extend beyond numbers on a ledger to governance, social equity, and accountability." @JasonBraganza1- Executive Director, @AFRODAD2011

“Debt justice is a feminist issue.Because austerity measures hit women first and hardest. Borrowed money rarely funds gender equality or services that improve women’s lives. Thus women are made “shock absorbers” of austerity. Our task today is to bring feminist knowledge, resistance, and vision into debt justice debates, so that African women are not just casualties of the debt crisis but leaders in reshaping the global economic order.

Our history is a timeline of marginalization. Colonialism created odious debt, a system of injustice where they built their wealth on our backs. They say we owe a debt, but we are the creditors. They took our labor, our resources, and our future. We demand reparative justice, not charity. We need an African Marshall Plan. Africa is the Creditor, not the Debtor! End the cycle! 500 years of injustice are enough! End the injustice and the extractive systems! End mental slavery! End odious debt! Cancel it all, now! #AfricaRuleMaker #StopTheBleeding #AfCoDDV #AfricaReparativeDebtJustice

On fossil fuels, youth should demand to phase down for us and phase out for global North! Also demand for a net transfer to Africa! Martha Bekele @AFRODAD2011 @Youth_TJN @dev_transform #Africarulemaker #AfCoDDV #stopthebleeding

We must remain focused on the goal! Africa urgently needs sustainable and effective solutions to tackle its debt challenges. We need to be very comprehensive in our advocacy and push for a UN Framework Convention on Sovereign Debt, a comprehensive, fair, transparent, inclusive and legally binding multilateral mechanism to effectively prevent and resolve sovereign debt crises.

Brilliant panel speaking to how the global financial system is failing billions through rising debt, inequality, climate collapse, and public service cuts. #FfD4 must deliver systemic change, not more of the same. #FfD4People #CSForum #UnDebtConvention #CancelTheDebt

As the #FFD4 conference is set to begin tomorrow in Seville,Spain, #AFRODAD is Calling for an Ambitious Outcome Document for FfD4 in fixing Africa’s debt crisis: Read more here: afrodad.org/news-events/ar…

‼️Rich countries are attempting to sabotage sovereign debt reform. We thus urge the negotiators of #G77 governments to stand united and fight for a just outcome document at #FFD4. #EraOfJustice #FFD4People #SystemChangeNow 👉shorturl.at/i2zaI

African, or global south countries in general, are facing record high debt payments, risking the advancement towards the Africa We Want and the SDGs. Debt relief is urgent, but it must be accompanied by reforms to offer solutions now and in the future. ➡️shorturl.at/i2zaI #UNDebtConvention #FFD4People #RumboASevilla

This is how it looks like when you stand up against undemocratic and unfair systems! The people will have their say against the IMF and WorldBank and their harmful lending policies! Watch and follow this powerful event!
