Decolonizing Finance: Breaking the Cycle of Debt

May 5 @ 4:00 pm5:00 pm

Why are so many African nations still drowning in debt? And more importantly, who benefits from this system?

The truth is, the global financial system wasn’t built to serve Africa’s interests. It was designed to keep former colonies economically dependent and ensure wealth continues to flow out of the Global South and into the hands of former colonial powers.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll break down how institutions like the IMF and World Bank shape economic policies that prioritize creditors over people, and how these policies keep countries trapped in debt. We’ll also explore the hidden colonial legacies in global finance, from unfair credit ratings to resource exploitation.

But this isn’t just about identifying the problem – it’s also about solutions. We’ll discuss:

  • What a decolonized financial system could look like
  • How movements for debt cancellation and financial sovereignty are gaining traction
  • Ways you can advocate for fairer economic policies and support African-led financial independence

This is for activists, policymakers, students, and anyone who believes that true decolonization must include economic justice. If you’re ready to challenge the status quo and imagine a world where African nations control their own wealth, then this workshop is for you.
