Participants of the Conference endorsed a new declaration emphasizing the critical role of solidarity with workers, the landless, peasants, women, climate activists and similar groups around the world.

A political system where corporations own most of the mass media, where billionaires buy politicians, and where private-interest lobbyists shape legislation cannot legitimately be described as democratic. Call it what you want, but "democracy" isn't it.

If Africa embarks on a #fossilfuel development model, it will spell doom for communities who are suffering due to prolonged droughts and famine.

Unlike fossil fuels, #RenewableEnergy offers communities in Africa a chance to renew their livelihoods

Economic and Monetary Sovereignty in 21st Century Africa

Overview

Economic and Monetary Sovereignty in 21st Century Africa traces the recent history of African monetary and financial dependencies, looking at the ways African nations are resisting colonial legacies. Using a comparative, multi-disciplinary approach, this book uncovers what went wrong after the Pan-African approaches that defined the early stages of independence, and how most African economies fell into the firm grip of the IMF, World Bank, and the EU’s strict neoliberal policies.
