Forum of the Justiciable calls for funding better suited to Africa

The Forum of the Justiciable has called on the IMF and the World Bank to provide funding that is more accessible and better suited to the needs of African economies. At the annual meetings in Bangkok, the Senegalese organisation also called for development policies to take greater account of local priorities, according to its statement.

The Senegalese Forum of the Justiciable is calling on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group to make their funding more accessible to African economies. The organisation says it made this request on behalf of Africa and Senegal at the annual meetings of the two institutions, held in Bangkok, Thailand, according to a statement cited by Seneweb.

The Forum of the Justiciable is also asking international technical and financial partners to strengthen their support for African economies, in discussions with officials from the IMF and the World Bank. This position echoes Cape Verde’s calls for changes to the criteria for accessing global funding.
