As the world moves towards net-zero emissions by 2050, investments in clean energy are rising, and fossil fuel demand is set to decline. While this is positive news for the planet, it presents a major challenge for African economies reliant on oil exports like Algeria, Angola and Nigeria. These countries, where fossil fuels account for over 80% of exports, are facing a predictable crisis that could threaten their fiscal and economic stability. The Bretton Woods Institutions (International Monetary Fund & The World Bank Group) were designed to support countries through fiscal and trade crises. But are they prepared for the upcoming oil shock? In 🆕 #DevMatters blog post, Cleo R. argues that the BWIs "must step up now to play their essential role in confronting the greatest shock and long-term financing challenge in Africa since the BWIs were created in 1944." ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eJV9iHnG

Promoting better policies for better lives in emerging & developing economies. Newsletter: oe.cd/dev-news
À propos
Promoting better policies for better lives in emerging and developing economies is an integral part of the OECD’s mission. It is also an essential contribution to the prosperity and stability of its members. Most OECD departments and special bodies therefore lend their expertise to supporting policy making in partner countries, but only three of them specialise in international development: the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, the OECD Development Centre, and the Sahel and West Africa Club. The OECD Development cluster works in close co-operation with OECD sectoral committees and directorates. It leverages the Organisation’s assets to support better policies globally, and advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The cluster’s combined networks and expertise ensures that this support is directly informed by partner countries’ governments and stakeholders, adapted to their specific challenges and opportunities, and implemented with regional partners.

Social protection is crucial in the fight against poverty and inequality. In developing and emerging economies, many workers face a double challenge: informal employment and low-paying jobs. Informal workers make up nearly 60% of the global workforce, and this figure rises to 90% in low-income countries. Targeted solutions are needed to help break the inter- and intra-generational circles of informality and low pay, particularly for those in the lower tier of the workforce. One powerful tool is social protection. Countries should work towards including these workers in non-contributory schemes and subsidising their participation in contributory schemes, which should be seen as an investment in reducing poverty.

To #EndPoverty and hunger, Wellington Dias, Brazil’s Minister of Social Development, encourages the international community to “stop pointing at complexity and move to action." “This is not about donor countries doing the work for other countries. It is about creating the minimum conditions for countries to do this essential work themselves.” Read more in the Development Co-operation Report 2024 as we approach the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wNM87

Both enrolment rates and the quality of education appear to fall short. The 23rd International Economic Forum on Africa will explore how better education and training can increase Africa’s productivity and help break the vicious circle of low supply of, and demand for quality jobs.

How can multilateral organisations drive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGS)? Multilateral organisations hold key roles in the development finance landscape. In 2022, they committed a total of USD 231 billion from their core resources to support developing countries. Among these organisations, multilateral development banks, led by the World Bank Group, mainly provide non-concessional development finance. In contrast, other multilateral institutions, such as the United Nations agencies, typically offer concessional support.
