Capacity Strengthening and Policy Engagement on Public Debt

The meeting is meant to raise awareness of the challenges of public debt and corruption in Zambia; to build the Church leaders’ capacity to track and document data on public debt and corruption to strengthen their prophetic role on the issues as well as to identify country-level Ecumenical Economic Justice Advocates to anchor AACC public debt and corruption programming. 

The meeting will be held to strengthen the capacity of AACC member churches in Zambia to engage key stakeholders including governments on public debt and corruption. It will be a platform for raising awareness of other critical economic justice issues that have a direct and indirect bearing on public debt management and corruption in Africa. Interaction with some experts and public officials will enhance the capacity of the Church leaders on public debt and corruption. The meeting will build on the research findings on the public debt of Burundi, Zambia, and Ghana that will be discussed.
