PRESS RELEASE African Consultative Group Meeting: Statement by the Chairman of the African Caucus and the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) The economic recovery in Africa is expected to continue WASHINGTON D.C., United States of America, April 15, 2019/ — Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta, Chairman of the African Caucus, and Ms. Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), co-chaired the African Consultative Group meeting today at the IMF Headquarters. [1] They issued the following statement after the conclusion of the Group’s meeting in Washington D.C.: “We had very productive discussions on Africa’s economic developments and prospects. The economic recovery in Africa is expected to continue. However, under current policies and amid increased global uncertainty, medium-term growth for the region is expected to continue to fall well short of what is needed to absorb new entrants to the labor force. The key challenge that Africa faces is to invest in human and physical capital to create jobs while at the same time reducing debt vulnerabilities. “Against this backdrop, we agree that countries need to generate fiscal space, enhance resilience including to climate change, and create sustained high and inclusive growth, including by removing obstacles to greater gender equity. This will require, in particular: (i) pursuing growth-friendly fiscal consolidations, where needed, that strike the right balance between development spending, reducing debt vulnerabilities, and meeting essential social needs; (ii) strengthening the effectiveness of monetary policy to enhance the monetary transmission mechanism; (iii) enhancing the flexibility of markets to facilitate adjustment to shocks and preserve competitiveness; (iv) removing trade barriers to boost medium-term growth, including in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement; and (v) addressing illicit financing flows and base erosion to enhance governance and strengthen revenue collection.” Ms. Lagarde stated that “the IMF will remain closely engaged with its African members. The Fund will continue to support the authorities’ efforts to address the current macroeconomic and structural challenges and achieve a stronger, durable and inclusive growth to absorb new entrants in the labor force.” Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta echoed Ms. Lagarde on the economic prospects of the continent, and the willingness of the sub-region to work closely with the IMF to tackle emerging concerns. He emphasized the need for members to sustain commitment to structural reforms and encouraged the Fund to show patience in its program engagement when there is demonstrated ownership by country authorities for successful outcomes.

Airstrikes are one part of the U.S. strategy to support Somali forces in their commitment to the Federal Government of Somalia’s advancement of economic development, governance, and their military institutions. “We continue to target and strike various levels of leadership within the al-Shabaab network,” said Marine Corps Maj.

They directly impact al-Shabaab’s ability to carry out activities and recruitment. At this time, it is assessed this airstrike killed two (2) terrorists and destroyed one (1) motorcycle. Currently, we assess no civilians were injured or killed as a result of this airstrike. Our process and procedures allow for additional information to inform post-strike analysis. U.S. Africa Command will continue to work with its partners to transfer the responsibility for long-term security in Somalia from AMISOM to the Federal Government of Somalia and its Member States. In support of the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. forces will use all effective and appropriate methods to assist in the protection of the Somali people, including partnered military counterterrorism operations with the Federal Government of Somalia, AMISOM, and Somali National Army forces.

Participants at the seminar affirmed that the Bank’s ethical business model is responsible for the successful financing, execution and delivery of its infrastructure and human development projects.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – David Bohigian, Acting President and CEO of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. Government’s development finance institution, and Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump today announced the launch of OPIC’s 2X Africa initiative to support investment in women in Africa. The announcement was made during a U.S. Government delegation to the country. Through the initiative, OPIC aims to unlock the full economic potential of women in Africa by catalyzing $1 billion, directly investing $350 million, to businesses and funds owned by women, led by women, or providing a good or service that intentionally empowers women on the continent. Launched under OPIC’s broader 2X Women’s Initiative, 2X Africa will advance the White House-led Women’s Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) Initiative a whole-of-government commitment to empowering women globally. “For women to succeed as entrepreneurs and job creators we must ensure they have equal access to the financing necessary to start and grow their businesses,” said Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump. “In furtherance of this goal, it is my honor to announce a new landmark initiative within W-GDP, 2X Africa, to directly invest capital into supporting women-owned, women-led, and women-supporting projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.” “The launch of 2X Africa underscores OPIC’s recognition of the critical role that women play in tackling Africa’s most pressing development challenges,” said OPIC Acting President and CEO David Bohigian. “By strengthening our focus on the women of Africa, OPIC will foster prosperity and stability in the region, and support the Administration’s important efforts to advance global women’s economic empowerment through W-GDP.” OPIC’s 2X Women’s Initiative aims to harness the multi-trillion dollar opportunity women represent by catalyzing investment in projects that support the world’s women. One year since the launch of the initiative, OPIC in March announced that it had surpassed the initiative’s initial target to mobilize $1 billion to the world’s women. Yesterday while in Addis Ababa, Bohigian signed an letter of interest with a women owned business called Muya to help support the company through OPIC financing. Muya, founded in 2005 by female entrepreneurial fashion designer Sara Abera, produces high quality household products.
