AFRICA’S TIME IS NOW. 🌍
On 7 October 2026 in Mauritius, we officially launch the Africa Credit Rating Agency (#AfCRA), a bold step towards greater African agency, stronger financial sovereignty and ownership of Africa’s economic narrative.
Vision delivered. Promise honoured.
Walked into the CEO’s office @APRM_MarieRose and caught her in full preparation mode! 😄
Her message? “6 days to go!”
The countdown to the launch of the Africa Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA) is on, and the excitement is building!
At the webinar on 1 October 2026, Mr. Dalmar Jama delivered the keynote address on behalf of H.E. Ambassador Marie-Antoinette Rose-Quatre, Chief Executive Officer of the APRM Continental Secretariat. The address emphasised that legislation alone is not enough to protect whistleblowers and must be supported by safe reporting channels, safeguards against retaliation and a culture that recognises speaking out as public service. Her Excellency called for stronger legal frameworks, greater awareness and institutional capacity to put these protections into practice, helping to build trust in institutions and strengthen accountability in the fight against corruption.

This morning, on 1 October 2026, the APRM hosted a webinar on International and Continental Perspectives on Whistle-blower Protection to discuss how people who report wrongdoing can be better protected. The conversation drew on contributions from Charity H. Nchimunya of the African Union’s anti-corruption board and Kareem Rasheed Olawale of AUDA-NEPAD Nigeria, alongside the research experience of Prof. Christian Hauser in whistleblowing.
Bringing these perspectives together, the exchange connected the practical challenges of protecting whistleblowers with the policies and good practices needed to address them, exploring how effective protection can strengthen transparency and accountability in the fight against corruption.

APRM-FALS 2026 created a space for meaningful conversations, new connections and a shared vision for building the next frontier of Africa’s digital economy.
Bringing together leaders, innovators and partners, the conversation reinforced the importance of collaboration in shaping a more connected and digitally empowered Africa.

In her vote of thanks,@DCP_Haddadi , Deputy Chairperson of the @_AfricanUnion Commission, highlighted the AU’s ambition under Moonshot 7 of Agenda 2063’s Second Ten-Year Implementation Plan: positioning Africa as an influential global player.
She underscored the role of the Africa High-Level Forum on South-South and Triangular Cooperation in advancing this ambition by enabling African countries to shape development policies, strengthen technical cooperation and drive progress across key sectors.
The vision remains clear: an integrated Africa, strengthened by economic and political cooperation and increasingly influential in the global order.

Africa has solutions. Our task is to share them, scale them and turn them into impact.
This was my message at the APRM High-Level Dialogue on South-South and Triangular Cooperation, convened on the margins of #UNGA81 in New York.
With just over four years to 2030, we must accelerate action. Agenda 2063 and the SDGs must be pursued as one, with African countries learning from one another and building partnerships that respond to our own priorities.
We are already walking the talk, advancing AfCRA, strengthening governance support and expanding peer learning and knowledge-sharing across our Member States.
South-South cooperation must be African-owned, Member State-led and driven by results.
#UNGA81 #SouthSouthCooperation #Agenda2063 #SDGs #AfCRA
Closing the dialogue, H.E. Navid Hanif, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, highlighted Africa’s strategic role in shaping UN policies and programmes.
He also commended the longstanding cooperation between the UN and APRM in strengthening institutional capacities across the continent in support of the #SDGs and #Agenda2063.

Credit ratings have real implications for Africa’s access to finance. While other emerging regions average around BB, Africa averages between B- and B - a gap that can influence investor eligibility and increase financing costs.
The African Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA) is part of Africa’s effort to strengthen the continent’s credit rating architecture and bring greater African perspective and context to credit assessments.
#AfCRA #11DaysToGo #Africa #CreditRatings #AfricanUnion #APRM
As the dialogue concluded in New York, one message stood out: South-South & Triangular Cooperation must move beyond individual initiatives and become part of how African countries plan, finance and implement development.
From stronger national frameworks to youth-led innovation, African countries can deepen cooperation by sharing solutions, expertise and experience.
As 2030 approaches, stronger African ownership and partnerships will be critical to accelerating the #SDGs and #Agenda2063.

Very important decision.
ONU AG :Coup de tonnerre
La Présidente de la Namibie, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, a annoncé l'ouverture en octobre 2026, à l'île Maurice, du siège et du lancement des activités de l'Agence africaine de notation de crédit (AfCRA), dont le but sera d' évaluer la solvabilité des États, des collectivités, et des entreprises à travers l'Afrique et ainsi mettre fin à la dépendance aux agences de notations occidentales (Moody's, S&P, Fitch) dont les évaluations biaisées coûtent chaque année à l'Afrique plusieurs milliards de dollars.

Moving from dialogue to implementation, the technical sessions examined how South-South & Triangular Cooperation can be embedded in national development plans, policies and frameworks.
Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire and Algeria shared experiences on institutionalising SSTrC, while discussions with Burundi, UNDP Africa and UNOSSC highlighted the role of youth, innovation and cross-border cooperation in strengthening economic resilience.
The message: SSTrC must be nationally owned, resourced and measurable to deliver impact.
This morning in New York, the APRM, in collaboration with Uganda, Sierra Leone and UN-OSAA, convened its annual dialogue with UN agencies and Member States under the theme:
“Towards 2030 and Beyond: Unlocking the Power of Triangular and South-South Cooperation to Accelerate the SDGs and Agenda 2063.”
Held at Uganda House, the dialogue brought together African ministers, policymakers, UN representatives and development partners to advance practical approaches to strengthening #SouthSouthCooperation across Africa.

Local context matters. Understanding market structures, regional trade and flows, and local realities helps build a fuller and more accurate picture of an economy.
Africa’s realities. Africa’s perspective. Africa’s credit rating agency.

On the margins of #UNGA81, I was pleased to return to the Forward Africa Leaders Symposium at the Harvard Club in New York, under the theme "Building the Next Frontier of Africa's Digital Economy."
In my opening keynote, I underscored that Africa has already demonstrated its capacity to innovate at scale. In 2025 alone, USD 1.4 trillion moved through mobile money in Sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for two-thirds of global mobile-money transaction value.
The next step is infrastructure.
Reliable, affordable energy powers the networks and digital services a modern economy depends on.
Affordable connectivity brings people and businesses online.
Integrated markets let African innovation move across borders.
This is why Africa's next digital frontier must be built at the intersection of infrastructure, energy, integration and innovation.
Our task now: build on the frameworks already in place and accelerate implementation at scale —bringing governments, continental institutions, development finance, and private capital together to deliver real results for our people.
It is also to connect energy with digital infrastructure; national systems with continental markets; good governance with investor confidence; and, above all, Africa’s transformation with greater economic opportunity for its people.
