SUMMARY:Online Seminar: Zimbabwe and the COVID-19 and debt crisis – Causes and solutions
DESCRIPTION:Das Seminar ist Teil unserer virtuellen Vortragsrundreise „In Solidarität Gehör verschaffen“. Die Veranstaltung findet auf Englisch statt. \nDas Seminar wird zweimal angeboten. Der zweite Termin ist der 20.11.2020 von 19:00 Uhr bis 20:30 Uhr. \nInvitation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe economic fallout of the Corona pandemic caused a worldwide recession not seen since the Great Depression. The shock\, described as “crisis like no other”\, has hit countries on the African continent in an already dire debt situation. \nEven prior to the corona pandemic\, 124 developing countries were in a more or less critical debt situation. Even representatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are concerned of 2021 becoming the beginning of a lost development decade in the absence of immediate and ambitious action. \nZimbabwe has been in a long-lasting debt crisis for years. The health and economic impacts of the pandemic aggravate the situation of the local population even more. \nIn April 2020\, the 20 most powerful countries\, the G20\, agreed on debt relief measures for 73 lower income countries in order to support them in fighting the impact of the pandemic. Originally\, Zimbabwe was part of this list\, but\, due to payment arrears to the World Bank\, has been cancelled subsequently. Many voices from civil society\, academics and politics are in deep concern and demand debt relief. \nWe invite you to a discussion on the economic and social situation in Zimbabwe in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as on the current political reform initiatives. At the center will be the understanding of perspectives and demands of Zimbabwean civil society in order to effectively exit the debt crisis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nJanet Zhou\, director of the Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development (ZIMCODD) \nKristina Rehbein\, erlassjahr.de – Entwicklung braucht Entschuldung e.V.
