Africa has ambitious development goals, but how can the continent finance them sustainably and on its own terms?
In Episode 3 of Beyond Debt, Dr. Patrick Ndzana Olomo, Acting Director for Economic Development, Integration and Trade and Head of Economic Policy and Sustainable Development at the African Union Commission, brings a continental policy perspective to one of Africa’s most pressing challenges: financing its development while reducing dependence on debt and external resources.
The conversation explores how African countries can mobilize domestic resources, strengthen regional economic integration, address illicit financial flows, and advocate for a fairer global financial architecture. It also looks at how Africa can place its own resources, institutions, and priorities at the heart of its development journey.
Ultimately, the episode asks a fundamental question: What will it take for Africa to move beyond debt and finance the future it wants, on its own terms?
