OUR OPINION: UNITED NATIONS, THE SUMMIT OF THE FUTURE
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In our past opinion, we opened a debate for our readers and listeners to share their opinion about the UNSC reform to incorporate two new seats for the African Continent.

Beyond the UNSC reform itself, the discussions were extended to include the Bretton Woods institutions (WB and IMF) reforms.

It’s with great pleasure that we were able to access the final report of the Summit of the Future just concluded at the UN General Assembly. The New Chart not only includes serious topics such as the digital gap, the climate change, the youth and others but also recommends the long awaited reforms related to the UNSC and the WB and IMF current structure.

Reforming the Bretton Woods institutions with a focus on Africa could significantly impact the continent’s economic development, providing more inclusive and responsive support. Here are key measures that could be implemented in favor of Africa:

– Increasing Africa’s Representation and Voting Power:

This would allow African nations to have a greater say in shaping policies that affect their development trajectories.

– Debt Relief and Sustainable Financing

As a result, Africa will be able to invest in long-term development projects rather than merely servicing debt. In addition, future lending could shift toward sustainable, low-interest financing models that are less punitive and more tailored to the unique needs of African economies.

– Targeted Investment in Infrastructure and Human Capital

The World Bank could focus more aggressively on funding infrastructure projects across Africa, particularly in sectors like transportation, energy, healthcare, and education. Special attention should be given to digital infrastructure and the development of renewable energy sources, helping African nations leapfrog into the global economy while addressing climate change. Investment in human capital—through education and healthcare—would also empower African countries to build stronger, more resilient economies.

– Flexible and African-Led Development Models

The IMF and World Bank’s traditional approach of imposing strict austerity measures in exchange for financial assistance has often hampered growth and led to social instability in Africa. Reforms should embrace development models that are more flexible and attuned to African contexts, allowing countries to pursue growth strategies that align with their specific needs and circumstances. This could include support for industrial policy, regional and continental trade integration such as the AFCTA, and homegrown poverty alleviation programs. Some countries like Rwanda, Botswana, Uganda are doing well.

– Encouraging Private Sector Investment and Innovation

The World Bank could help attract more private sector investment to Africa by providing risk mitigation tools, such as loan guarantees and political risk insurance (like MIGA), for investors looking to enter African markets. Facilitating access to capital for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs, especially in key sectors like agriculture, technology, and renewable energy, would spur innovation and job creation across the continent.

– Building African Institutions and Capacity

To foster long-term economic stability, reforms could focus on helping African nations strengthen their governance and institutional capacity. This could involve offering technical assistance to improve public financial management, combat corruption, and build the capacity of local institutions to design and implement effective development policies. By building strong, transparent institutions, African countries will be better positioned to manage their resources and attract investment.

– Addressing Gender Equality and Youth Employment

Africa’s young population represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Reforms could emphasize job creation programs that target the continent’s youth, addressing the critical issue of unemployment. Additionally, gender equality initiatives, such as improving access to finance for women entrepreneurs and expanding girls’ education, would unlock significant economic potential and foster more inclusive growth.

By enacting these reforms that enhance Africa’s representation, provide debt relief, and support sustainable development, the Bretton Woods institutions can become more responsive to the continent’s needs. These reforms, if implemented thoughtfully, could empower Africa to take control of its economic destiny, boost its global competitiveness, and uplift millions from poverty while fostering long-term, sustainable growth.

In our humble opinion, this initial step should be followed by a more ambitious reform beyond the current “makeup’. The Africa currency issue. Everywhere on the continent the local currencies are stumbling down against the USD and Euro. A deep reform is more than needed here for Africa to gain some sort of economic independence. This is another chapter and we promise to revert to you in the near future about it with more ideas.
