Caritas, the Jesuits, and JubileeUSA hosted a two-day meeting at the Elysian Resort in Nairobi to engage in discussions concerning how best to navigate Africa through the contemporary crises afflicting the entire continent.The final statement wrapping up the event individuated, among them,"the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, food and nutrition insecurity, climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, fragile health systems, conflicts, terrorism, and debts.
Faith leaders traced an overview of today's African economic crisis starting from the late 1990s, when"our faith communities were among those gathered in the Jubilee movement to advocate for breaking the chains of debt in developing countries.""We celebrated that world leaders delivered $130 billion in debt relief, which helped advance poverty reduction spending in recipient countries," the document recognized.
"Rising interest rates in major economies and slowing growth inflate debt payments," the leaders noted,"while cost-of-living trends erode wages and incomes."Vast investments are needed"to save the planet that sustains life in Africa and elsewhere, during a window that is rapidly closing."
