Islamic Relief fund, the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) – CETA, Caritas Africa, and Jubilee USA Network want to put people at the centre of reforms. IDA investments can only support strong recoveries and reduce debt vulnerability when they have behind strong societal belief on their benefits, and scrutiny of their use and results.

“IDA should open more avenues for feedback and learning from those most affected by its policies and set incentives for country-level, bottom-up processes for citizen participation in transformed instruments for lending,” the statement stressed.
