AFRICAN DEBT MONITORING BOARD

Generated by Royal Group

Debt bondage has been described by the United Nations as a form of modern day slavery and is prohibited by international law. It is specifically dealt with by article 1(a) of the United Nations 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery.

As indicated in Article 19 of the Constitutive Act of the African Union, there is need to speed up the operationalization of African financial institutions.

While some African governments look to restructure their debt, China is Africa’s biggest trading partner, with Sino-African trade topping $200 billion per year. Over 10,000 Chinese firms are currently operating throughout the African continent and the value of Chinese business there since 2005 amounts to more than $2 trillion, with $300 billion in current investments.

The Russian Federation has written off debts of African states worth more than 20 billion dollars while China wrote off at least $3.4 billion of debt between 2000 and 2019, almost all interest-free loans to African countries. As of now, China has forgiven 23 interest-free loans in 23 countries.

Also the GCC investment into Africa has continued to climb, reaching more than US$8.3 billion enhancing Africa’s capacity for independent and sustainable development.

China has so far built and refurbished parliaments in some 15 African countries, including the Republic of Congo, Liberia, Mozambique, the Seychelles and Guinea Bissau, as well as other government buildings such as Burundi’s presidential palace and the African Union headquarters in Ethiopia.

Debt forgiveness and reform of trade agreements to benefit the least advantaged in each country can reduce income inequality and other forms of inequality with hope that Africa, represented by the African Union, would finally obtain a permanent seat in the G20, thereby further strengthening Africa’s voice on the global stage.

The GCC and China must collectively work together to transform Africa into a global powerhouse of the future in supporting debt-ridden African countries transition towards a path of sustainable debt in the medium to long term.

Royal Group would shoulder its responsibilities and make greater efforts to promote the substantive participation of multilateral financial institutions and commercial creditors in addressing Africa’s debt issue.

Royal Group urges the GCC and China to sincerely shoulder their responsibilities and make greater efforts to address debt issues in African countries.

Bringing Hope To Children

 

 

Meeting the needs for education.

Royal Group Charity provides Housing, Opportunity, Protection and Education, to disadvantaged children in developing nations, by providing family housing, supporting local communities and facilitating access to quality education and learning materials.

In the developing world, there are several factors that create roadblocks to a child’s education. The countries that have the lowest enrollment rates are generally those that do not have free, universal primary and secondary education. Where primary education is free, enrollment rates are high but many children do not continue on to secondary school due to high school fees, or because they are forced to work or stay home to take care of siblings.

Lack of proper school facilities and transportation in rural areas often makes it difficult for children to attend school regularly. In addition, there is generally a shortage of qualified teachers. Diseases such as HIV and Malaria have a significant impact on home life, as does hunger, posing further challenges to a child’s education.

Royal Group Charity Foundation’s primary goal is to help children in developing countries gain the benefit of a complete education. We believe education creates change, not only improving the life of an individual child but also contributing to the development of the child’s community and their country.
(Message from our founder His Highness Prince Khalid Al-Sabah)

Education is a right. It is also the most requested service, and key, to helping communities move towards peace and prosperity. Supporting education is a recognition of people’s enormous potential and the right to a better future.

Everyone deserves an education regardless of age or gender, religion or physical capacity, ethnic group or displacement through conflict. Education is essential if people are to participate in the life of their own communities.

Free the Poor from Poverty and Hunger

Should a country starve its children to pay off its debts? 

 

When a corporation or individual has reached a point of bankruptcy, we have laws that allow that corporation or individual to make a fresh start so why cant we adopt the same approach for countries?

The world should understand that the purpose of life is not just the acquisition of wealth but the development of the world for the good of its inhabitants and the world itself for future generations

Poor people are not poor because of the scarcity of resources and products. They are poor because they are denied the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Well it’s time to bring new life and hope to a dying world.

Royal Group Charity’s goal is to increase public awareness and civic engagement in ways that counteract prejudice against people in poverty, that defends their human rights.

People previously fought against slavery and apartheid and won.

In our modern times, the challenge for us all is to make the world where human values are prioritized.

The most disadvantaged people can free themselves from the dependence and indignity of poverty when their courage and their capacity for action are recognized and when everyone takes responsibility for overcoming the prejudice and discrimination that continue to exclude people in poverty across the world.

Royal Group Charity aims to design and plan a goal of leaving no one behind.

Ending debts is not a task of charity, it’s an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous progress.

Almost half of the world’s population live in poverty, with lack of food and clean water kills thousands each day.

Today’s world subject’s people into extreme poverty to punishing exploitation and often condemn them to uselessness. Over the world, there are many initiatives for public good, fair trade, and promoting self sufficiency and community resilience. Royal Group Charity ensures that people in extreme poverty are able to participate in these projects.

One of the leading causes of poverty is lack of access to food and clean water. It’s difficult to have the energy to work when you are suffering from hunger and thirst. This also makes individuals more vulnerable to preventable diseases.  

Warfare and conflict disrupt and stall financial markets and economic growth, lowering investor confidence which leads to job losses. Insecurity often causes displacement of the population, which leads to poverty as citizens struggle to access basic necessities to survive. 

Another cause of poverty is a lack of jobs in a certain area. This can be a result of conflict, economic recessions, and geographic locations, like rural areas with fewer work opportunities. When there are not enough jobs available, it is impossible for people to make a living and break the cycle of poverty. Where jobs are available, a lack of matching skills is the gap that needs to be bridged via education and skills training. 

Social injustice can also lead to poverty when specific groups of people are discriminated against based on their nationality. This discrimination prevents these individuals from improving their situation in different ways, such as difficulty getting a good education, decreased job opportunities, and limited access to other resources that could help them break the cycle of poverty. 

A lack of infrastructure also contributes to poverty.  Infrastructure includes things like roads, bridges, internet access, and public transportation, which are vital for people to travel, interact, and communicate. Without proper infrastructure, people may not be able to travel to work and make money, or they may have to spend all of their time traveling to obtain food and water. 

Climate change is also a major factor in causing poverty, as severe storms, floods, and droughts are capable of crippling economies and devastating communities. Agricultural communities are particularly vulnerable because they can lose both their source of income and their food supply. Severe weather conditions have the ability to undermine successful economies as well as ravage struggling areas even further.  

One of the main causes of poverty is the lack of a good education. Education allows individuals to be equipped in dealing with issues, obtaining good jobs, empowered to a better learning, and ultimately pull themselves out of poverty. However, access to a good education is not universal and many people around the world don’t receive the educational opportunities they need. 

Education must be accessible and affordable for everyone.

To help break the cycle of poverty, we must provide educational opportunities that will bring life changing differences in the world.

Together, we can feed the hungry by wiping out all the debts, wiping out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rightful life.

We must grasp the responsibilities given to us to care for the future of our people and of our world.

 

Free Education 2023

Speaking Against Poverty 2023

Poverty can have a profound impact on a child’s life.

The root causes of poverty worldwide actively lobby for a positive change. 

Everyone has the right to education and a standard of living adequate for the health and well being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his or her control.

Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance.

All children should enjoy the same social protection.

China and Africa’s strengthening friendship and solidarity cooperation for common development

Building Peace and Stability

China and Africa have safeguarded international fairness and justice. 

China and Africa have stood with each other through hard times. China appreciates the firm commitment of African countries to the one-China principle and strong support for China’s efforts to safeguard sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. China has also spoken up for Africa at the UN and other multilateral settings, upholding justice and opposing unwarranted interference and unilateral sanctions against Africa. In solidarity and coordination, China and Africa have become a pillar force in defending the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, upholding the purposes of the UN Charter, and advocating multilateralism and international fairness and justice. 

Keeping the focus on development cooperation. 

China and Africa have pushed forward with cooperation on infrastructure, and completed several major projects. All these have lent a strong boost to Africa’s industrialization process. China is making steady progress in implementing all the pledges it made to Africa, despite various difficulties and disturbances. Over three billion has been delivered out of the 10 billion US dollars of credit facilities pledged to African financial institutions, and nearly 2.5 billion US dollars of loans were channeled to Africa’s priority programs. More than two billion of the 10 billion US dollars of trade finance has been allocated, and China’s import of African goods within six months reached 70.6 billion US dollars.

China and Africa have tackled the global food crisis. 

So far this year, China has signed exchange of letters with 12 African countries on zero tariff for 98 percent of their export items to China and provided emergency food assistance to Africa. More African agricultural produce has reached the Chinese market through the green lanes. The first four China-Africa joint centers for modern agro-technology exchange, demonstration and training were launched. Chinese businesses are increasing their investment in Africa’s agricultural sector, growing more grains, and through the initiative of 100 companies in 1,000 villages, helping create jobs, reduce poverty and improve livelihood for the rural households in Africa. 

China and Africa have built a strong shield against COVID-19. 

China has provided 189 million doses of vaccines to 27 African countries. Joint production of vaccines in Africa now has an annual capacity of about 400 million doses. The Africa CDC Headquarters building has topped out and is expected to be completed early next year and concluded upgrading the China-Guinea Friendship Hospital and completed the preliminary procedures for hospitals in South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Chad, and Malawi to pair up with Chinese hospitals. China has made 332 appointments of medical personnel to Africa and 1,000 Chinese medical experts in Africa have provided services on 250,000 clinical cases, conducted more than 30,000 operations, treated patients in 4,500 critical cases, and trained 3,600 participants from the local medical and healthcare community. African students taking courses in Chinese colleges are returning to their campuses in China. Fourteen Chinese vocational schools have forged partnerships with 13 African higher education institutions. 

China and Africa have advanced resilient and sustainable development. 

Expanded cooperation on solar, wind and other clean energy sources. A number of key projects, including the Kafue Lower Gorge Power Station in Zambia has entered into operation. A seminar on building Africa’s Great Green Wall has been activated. In countries including Botswana and Burkina Faso, China is carrying out South-South cooperation for addressing climate change. In Seychelles, China is building a low-carbon demonstration zone. In Madagascar and Mozambique, China has supported response to hurricanes, and helped enhance capacity for disaster preparedness and relief.

China and Africa have jointly enhanced regional peace and stability. 

China has put forward the outlook on peace and development in the horn of Africa, appointed its special envoy for the horn of Africa affairs, and supported countries in the region in holding the horn of Africa peace conference. The second China-Africa peace and security forum and a workshop on security in the Gulf of Guinea were successfully held. China has continued to provide military aid to countries in Sahel, the horn of Africa and the Gulf of Guinea, and policing equipment to countries including the Central African Republic and Namibia. All of this has helped boost the capacity of countries in the region for preserving peace and stability with their own strength. 

Upholding sincerity, real results, amity, good faith to enhance solidarity and mutual support. 

China and Africa will continue to follow the principles of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith and pursuing the greater good and shared interests. China and Africa will always be partner’s of mutual respect, equality and sincere cooperation. China will firmly support African countries in pursuing development paths and seeking strength through unity. 

With China’s support of the African Union joining the G20. China will work with Africa to carry forward the five principles of peaceful co-existence, practice true multilateralism and jointly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries.

China keeps its word with real actions, and will continue to take meeting Africa’s needs as the purpose of its cooperation with Africa. China will work with Africa to fully implement the nine programs and advance high-quality belt and road cooperation. China will waive the 23 interest-free loans for 17 African countries that had matured by the end of 2021. With support the decision of Tanzania and Zambia to reactivate the Tazara Railway. China will continue to actively support and participate in the construction of major infrastructure in Africa through financing, investment and assistance. China will also continue to increase imports from Africa, support the greater development of Africa’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors, and expand cooperation in emerging industries such as the digital economy, health, green and low-carbon sectors. 

Under the Global Development Initiative, upgrade of the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund to a Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund and further replenish the Fund. China has started developing a pool of global development projects, and welcomes application from African countries with prospective projects. China will also publish a China-Africa action plan on shared development in due course.

To help address food shortage in Africa, the Chinese government has decided to provide, within this year, a new tranche of food assistance to the 17 African countries in need, and will encourage more Chinese firms to invest in agricultural production and processing in Africa to help realize food self-sufficiency.

Importance of Security

China will continue to support and speed up the delivery of military aid to the AU and regional countries, help Africa enhance the capacity for countering terrorism and maintaining stability, and contribute to the early realization of the silencing the guns initiative. China wishes to work with Africa to jointly implement the Global Security Initiative, and will increase its input to the UN Peace and Development Trust Fund and help improve the UN operations for stability and peace in Africa.

China will promote the sound development of international cooperation with Africa. China welcomes continued interest in and support for Africa from the international community. China would also like to carry out trilateral or multi-party cooperation in Africa. What Africa wishes for is a favorable and amicable cooperation environment. What Africa would welcome is mutually beneficial cooperation for the greater well-being of the people, not major-country rivalry for geopolitical gains.

This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the African Union (AU), and Africa will embrace new development opportunities. At this new historical starting point, China and Africa need to stand even closer with each other, press ahead toward common development and rejuvenation, and truly build a China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era.

Fruitful China-Africa cooperation will add fresh impetus to global development, generate positive energy for world stability, and bring new hopes to people around the world. Royal Group Charity Foundation is confident that China-Africa friendship will stand any test of winds and storms. It will continue to be the backbone in South-South cooperation and a fine example in international relations.

Declaration of Human Rights (Fighting Poverty)

Under Article 25 of the United Nations 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states that Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services.

Royal Group Charity Foundation works with the world’s poorest people to transform their lives. But what do we mean by “the world’s poorest people?” And how do we help them?

Why Hunger?

Royal Group Charity knows hunger affects everything for the world’s poorest people. We believe no one should have to live with hunger and the damage it does. That’s why we’re working for a world in which no one dies for want of safe, quality, nutritious food.

Our Role

We are specialists in tackling hunger with the most vulnerable people in the world’s poorest places. For more than 15 years, we’ve been developing and delivering practical, intelligent, sustainable solutions that have transformed lives. We combine our expertise with local knowledge.

The Problem of Hunger

As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to reverse decades of progress in the fight against global poverty, hunger is the world’s biggest health problem.

According to a report from the United Nations food agencies, 690 million people in the world’s population go to bed on an empty stomach each night.

Right now 795 million people do not have enough to eat and the vast majority of them live in developing countries. We believe that no one should have to live with hunger and the damage it does.

Lack of food jeopardizes the wellbeing of families. Mothers are forced to reduce the number of meals children eat. Families replace nutritious foods like vegetables and beans for staples like corn and millet. Without the right nutrients, children can’t grow up healthily, adults don’t have enough energy to work and people’s immune systems are weak, turning common infectious diseases into killers.

Tough Choices

Hunger forces people to make tough choices that push them further into poverty. Parents take their children out of school to work. Families eat seeds that should be preserved for the next harvest. These choices make vulnerable people even more vulnerable. When disaster strikes, it’s the poorest communities already exposed to hunger and disease who suffer the most.

Long Term Effects

Hunger prevents communities from escaping poverty. The long term effects of hunger go beyond health. Poor nutrition leads to poor performance in school and fewer opportunities. Children’s brains will not fully develop and their bodies will be stunted. This has a devastating long term effect on families, communities and countries.

In Depth

Royal Group Charity’s mission is to help people living in extreme poverty achieve major improvements in their lives which last and spread without ongoing support. To achieve this mission, Royal Group Charity engages in long term development work, responds to emergency situations, and seeks to address the root causes of poverty through our development education and advocacy work.

During the effects of Covid-19, estimates suggest that an additional 85 to 130 million more people will be chronically hungry due to the pandemic.

Royal Group Charity Foundation calls for a firm stance in fighting to end hunger across the world.

China’s Great Pledge in Support of Africa

The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, which is held every three years in the fight against climate change offers more aid to African countries at the forefront of the Pandemic.

China promised to help African countries overcome Covid-19 and also send 1,500 health experts to Africa.

During the China-Africa summit in Africa, a joint declaration committed to Chinese non-interference in African domestic affairs.

The summit between China and 53 African states, with an emphasis on trade and security among other issues, was held near Senegal’s seaside capital Dakar.

China invests heavily in Africa, and is the continent’s largest trading partner with direct trade worth over US$207 billion.

China responds to the funding needs of poor African countries while taking debt sustainability seriously.

China would not interfere in the development path set by African countries and that it would also refrain from imposing its will on Africa.

There were hopes among some African leaders that China would offer debt relief, or promise fresh rounds of investment, after the pandemic struck an economic blow to many already struggling countries on the continent.

Vaccination Promise

As the world grapples with the unequal distribution of the shots between rich and poor countries.

On top of the 200 million vaccine doses that China has already delivered to the continent, Chinese President Xi Jinping has offered one billion coronavirus vaccine doses to Africa during a China-Africa summit in an Africa forum on economic cooperation.

China would donate 600 million doses directly. While a further 400 million doses would come from other sources such as production by Chinese companies in Africa to ensure the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in Africa to bridge the immunization gap.

African and Chinese officials also pledged to strengthen cooperation in public health, investment, trade, industrialization, infrastructure, agriculture and food security, climate change, peace and security.

Peace and Security

China’s contribution to peace and security in Africa

More than 80 percent of China’s military peacekeepers, or nearly 2,000 servicemen and women, and 75 percent of its contributions to the peacekeeping assessment are deployed in Africa.

Given the African Union’s capacity challenges in ending or containing deadly conflict, cooperation with China provides a chance for African states to eradicate insecurity and instability for their own development and prosperity.

China is already contributing to the peace and security objectives of the AU through capacity building for socio-economic development and education for social transformation. It also contributes towards peace missions in Africa.

China can enhance the AU’s military intervention capacity, by using the extensive military knowledge of the Peoples Liberation Army. This is especially so with regards to the non-combatant developmental approach to post-civil war peace-building, including the implementation of poverty alleviation programs.

Chinese military assistance to Africa is shaped by the China-Africa Cooperation Beijing Action Plan (2019-2021). The plan includes assistance for military, police and counter terrorism activities.

It also provides for developing the African Standby Force. The force is supposed to enable the AU to intervene in grave circumstances such as genocide.

Military cooperation between China and Africa takes the form of intelligence exchange, military personnel training, commercial arms sales, and regular peace and security forums. China also provides law enforcement training.

Specific military aid includes support to countries in the Sahel region, the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Guinea and the Horn of Africa.

(Africa has a right to growth and development)

Founder of Royal Group Charity Foundation, His Highness Prince Khalid Al-Sabah will like to thank and support China in the role of partnership in helping Africa stand as a nation and encouraging recognition throughout the World.
