Sustainable Finance Resources
Research and Policy Briefs, in collaboration with AFRODAD
When sovereign debt levels become too high, the consequences for developing countries are severe. Instead of funding social protection and essential public services for citizens, much of the revenue collected is diverted to debt repayment. This makes it critical to understand and strengthen the rules that govern how sovereign debt is taken on and managed.
International Lawyers Project, in collaboration with African Forum and Network on Debt and Development (AFRODAD), worked together with pro bono lawyers to develop a series of studies examining the legal and institutional frameworks that govern the process of taking on debt and managing it in Malawi, Ghana, and Ethiopia, as well as a synthesis report that highlights emerging trends.
