United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) convened a meeting between African Finance Ministers, the Africa Private Sector Working Group, and African Union (AU) Special Envoy on COVID-19 as the search continues for solutions to ensure African economies enjoy continued market access and meet their private sector debt service obligations.
