@teeteatete @SAPSN99 After adoption is domestication (implementation) which is what as the SADC PF is advocating for the SADC member states to undertake and also raise awareness amongst various sectors so that other stakeholders can understand and drive collectively.

"A key takeaway from this paper is that meaningful public participation must become routine, not ceremonial, a sentiment I hold dearly and continue to advocate for through the various platforms I lead, such as the Public Accounts Committee." - Hon. Boniface Blancha Mabeo, Member of Parliament, Gamalete Constituency, in his opening remarks this morning. JOIN HERE - bit.ly/42JGA8n #Youth4TaxJustice #Botswana #SADC #DRM

@SAPSN99 @ZAMSOFZM @Katso_lizarene @sadcpf @SADCYouthParly @SAYNewsOfficial @nangozimbabwe @youthdecidezim Great session to kick start the discussions as a lead up to the 46th Ordinary Summit of Heads of State & Govt of the SADC to be held in Aug.

Benefit-sharing is the new benchmark in Carbon Markets. Across 5 countries - Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe - community rights and transparent benefit-sharing have moved from "nice-to-have" to legal requirements, a major shift toward climate justice. A recently published comparative analysis by @ShamisoMtisi and Dr. @chantelle_moyo reveals how 5 African nations are shaping high-integrity carbon markets. Download: zela.org/download/a-com… Also in the report: ➡️Following the troubled Kariba REDD+ project, Zimbabwe's new regulations require 20% minimum community investment, establish blockchain-based registry transparency, and domesticate the UN's Sustainable Development Tool. ➡️With its 2023 Climate Change Amendment Act, Kenya now mandates 40% of carbon revenues from land-based projects go directly to local communities. Community Development Agreements are legally required. ➡️Zambia's Forest Carbon Stock Management Regulations require public inspection of project documents, including baseline calculations and additionality proofs. Only genuinely commercially sensitive information can be withheld, a model for balancing investor confidentiality with community accountability. ➡️The African Union's Biodiversity Strategy (2023-2030) and the First Africa Biodiversity Summit (Botswana, 2025) signal growing interest in payment for ecosystem services (PES) and biodiversity offsets. The report notes these could become the next frontier alongside carbon markets, but warns that legal frameworks must catch up. @theGCF @AfClimateSummit @climatenewsrom @FordFoundation @SwedeninZW @UNEP @UNFCCC @Obertbore

Freedom Day reminds us that democracy must be lived, defended, and strengthened. True freedom exists where citizens participate, institutions are accountable, and every voice matters. EJN remains committed to justice, transparency, and inclusive governance. #FreedomDay2026 #EJN

Yesterday we commemorated the World Earth Day under the theme: "Our Power, Our Planet". As African Feminist Climate Justice Actors, we are reminded that the climate crisis is a social justice struggle and that our climate action should be approached as such. As we address the climate crisis we must identify and acknowledge the root causes and effects of the climate crisis in order to promote solutions that center the most marginalized especially those in the Global South and calls for the re-imagination of usual gender mainstreaming strategies in our climate action. To do this, we are called to integrate feminist intersectional approaches, theories and principles. Our Intersectional Feminist Climate justice Guide highlights initiatives and tools that can be adopted and applied by feminists, women rights organizations, climate justice advocates, environmentalists, and civil society organizations in climate justice advocacy and programming to significantly contribute to and shape the climate governance and decision-making processes from an African and Global South feminist perspective.

The SADC Model Law - Africa Has a Blueprint. Now It Needs the Political Will to Use It. The 2022 SADC Model Law on Public Financial Management is a progressive framework centring Parliament in fiscal oversight, mandating transparent debt management, requiring IFFs assessments, and enabling disqualification of corrupt officials. AFRODAD research confirms that domestication is achievable, as its principles are already partially reflected in the laws of Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi. But critical gaps remain, and crucially, the Model Law has no mechanism to track member state implementation. AFRODAD calls for an urgent SADC Model Law Tracker, a transparent, publicly accessible tool that holds governments to account. Southern Africa has the blueprint. What it needs now is the political will to use it. Read more: shorturl.at/f7X2g

Last month, @PowerShftAfrica joined civil society actors and policy experts in Johannesburg for the SADC Trade, Industry, Finance and Investment working group kick-off meeting. Fragmented regulations, non-tariff barriers, and bilateral agreements are slowing Africa's ability to industrialise on its own terms. The colonial architecture of African trade has simply been repackaged. But the path forward is becoming clearer. The SADC Summit is in August 2026. Civil society will be ready. PSA was represented by @kudamanjonjo and Thandile Zonke

@FemnetProg Condolences🤗

Decades of advocacy, hundreds of recommendations, and Africa's debt keeps growing unsustainably. Something is fundamentally broken⚠️. Our paper calls out "policy fatigue" where expert-driven advocacy produces minimal change because political will is absent. The solution? A binary approach: pair sharp policy advocacy with deliberate, strategic efforts to build political momentum engaging citizens, media, and institutions together, not in isolation. The next frontier in debt justice starts with all of us. Read "Towards the Next Frontier in Sustainable Debt Advocacy in Africa," and share it widely. ➡️🔗 shorturl.at/y1qgY #AfricaEconomicJustice
