Quick summary

Objectives: The main goal of the Stop the Bleeding Campaign (STB) is to build a movement that advocates for debt relief, mobilizing support for the cancellation of unsustainable and unjust debts, with a focus on how debt servicing exacerbates gender inequalities. It fights against illicit financial flows (IFFs) to reduce financial outflows that harm citizens and advocates for policy reforms to close tax loopholes and end financial secrecy. It ensures good governance of public finances, strengthens relationships between African citizens and governments, and engages in legal advocacy for economic rights to protect citizens from debt and IFFs impacts.

Eligibility criteria: Eligible consultants must demonstrate proven experience in similar campaign projects, expertise in conducting campaign assignments, and knowledge of taxation, African debt crisis, illicit financial flows, and domestic resource mobilization. Strong communication skills in French and English are required, along with the ability to adhere to strict timelines and deliver high-quality outputs. The consultant should have no conflicts of interest that may impair objectivity. Selection criteria include relevant experience and qualifications, ability to perform work in a bilingual format, technical approach and methodology, proposed timeline and work plan, and financial proposal.

Description

The Stop the Bleeding Campaign (STB) is a Pan-African initiative aimed at mobilizing and advocating around the African debt crisis and illicit financial flows (IFFs). The campaign seeks to influence policymakers at both national and regional levels in favor of prudent debt management and equitable investment in public services. It highlights how unsustainable debt and IFFs perpetuate economic injustice, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities.

African women, who constitute most of the informal economy, are the most affected by debt servicing as it leads to cuts in public services, notably health, education, and social protection. Women bear the brunt of these cuts, taking on more unpaid work. This reality underscores the need for the STB campaign not only to focus on debt relief but also to advocate for public investments and gender-transformativeeconomic policies that prioritize participation in decision-making processes.

The campaign is built on the conviction that a feminist perspective must be applied to debt relief and IFFs, recognizing that economic injustices are deeply intertwined with gender inequalities. By addressing these challenges, the campaign aims to protect the socio-economic rights of African citizens, particularly women, youth, and vulnerable groups, and promote inclusive, citizen-led economic growth across Africa.
