African Forum and Network on Debt and Development (AFRODAD)

African Forum and Network on Debt and Development (AFRODAD) Influencing African governments to institute and implement policies and practices to promote development and poverty eradication.

AFRODAD is a Pan African civil society organisation born of a desire to secure lasting solutions to Africa's mounting debt problem which has impacted negatively on the continent's development process. AFRODAD believes that the debt crisis, apart from being a political, economic and structural issue, has an intrinsic link to human rights. This forms the guiding philosophy for its work on Debt and

the need to have African external debts cancelled for poverty eradication and attainment of social and economic justice. Furthermore, the principle of equity must of necessity apply and in this regard, responsibility of creditors and debtors in the debt crisis should be acknowledged and assumed by the parties.

Sovereign loan agreements are dense, technical, and deliberately obscure. Hidden within them are clauses that waive sovereign immunity, impose confidentiality on borrowing terms, and create cross-default triggers that can accelerate repayment obligations, often without public knowledge or parliamentary scrutiny. We are building a generation of journalists equipped not just to report on debt figures but to also analyse the architecture of the deals behind them.

Dr. Laila Latif put a powerful tool in the hands of African journalists: the Debt Contract Risk Explorer. Sovereign debt isn't just a numbers story- it lives in the clauses: confidentiality provisions, immunity waivers, and cross-default triggers buried in loan agreements most citizens never see. She's training African media to read between the lines and hold governments and lenders accountable for what they sign. This is the journalism Africa's debt crisis demands.

Panel Discussion; Austerity measures are frequently presented as economic necessity, but their social costs are deeply felt in communities especially by women and vulnerable groups who depend on public services. This discussion examines how media can report on fiscal policy critically, accurately, and throughout the feminist lens.
