The Campaign for Human Rights and Development International (CHRDI) has joined forces with the African Union’s Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) and other esteemed partners ahead of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4).
The engagement will be geared towards elevating African perspective in global finance conversations.
The landmark summit, scheduled for June 30 to July 3, 2025, in Seville, Spain, presents a vital opportunity for African stakeholders to push for inclusive and sustainable financing strategies that reflect the continent’s realities.
CHRDI, a Sierra Leone-based civil society organisation renowned for its advocacy in governance and development, is a key player in the strategic collaboration alongside TrustAfrica and Oxfam International. Together, they aim to ensure that African civil society voices are not only heard but play a central role in shaping the global financing agenda.
“This is not just about representation. It’s about reclaiming our place in decisions that impact the lives of millions of Africans,” a CHRDI spokesperson stated. “As global debt rises, climate change accelerates, and progress on the Sustainable Development Goals remains sluggish, the time for bold, unified African leadership is now.”
The collaboration seeks to leverage insights from grassroots and civil society actors to inform Africa’s position at FFD4, with a strong focus on addressing urgent financing challenges, particularly in the wake of mounting debt burdens and climate vulnerabilities.
AU, ECOSOCC and its partners are championing a model of development financing that places African priorities at the heart of global decision-making, calling for equity, justice, and sustainability.
As CHRDI continues to advocate for human rights-based development, its active engagement in this high-level international platform reflects a broader commitment to ensuring that African solutions lead Africa’s future.
