Description
The European Commission (EC) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will host the Eleventh African Fiscal Forum on March 21-22, 2023.
The Forum will explore ways to strengthen resilience through improvements in social policies and investment in the energy transition in the context of constrained fiscal resources. In particular, the Forum will discuss the issues around using targeted and temporary fiscal measures as the first best response to shocks, while at the same time addressing longer-term issues around mitigating a key source of vulnerability – climate change.
Participants to this virtual forum will include African ministers and policymakers, bilateral partners and multilateral institutions, and representatives of civil society.
The opening roundtable discussion on March 21 will be livestreamed in English and French. Technical sessions on March 22 are by invitation only.
