AFS Annual Report FY 2023
A succession of global economic shocks combined with a severe funding squeeze continue to seriously constrain the policy responses and growth prospects for member countries. The Fund’s surveillance, lending, and capacity development (CD) activities have been focused on assisting sub-Saharan African (SSA) member countries navigate the most challenging economic environment for decades. Through FY2023, AFRITAC South (AFS) collaborated with the African Department (AFR) and CD Departments (CDDs), to provide support on institutional reforms and building human capital to reduce macroeconomic vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience, which are key to setting the region on a higher growth path. In addition to supporting short-term stabilization goals, AFS CD has also covered critical new priority areas for medium- and longer-term growth prospects such as climate, gender, digitalization, and governance.
