African Debt and Human Rights (ADHR)

Supporting Research, Clarity and Participation in Fiscal Policy Making on Debt and Human Rights

     Our ADHR Research Cluster supported by OSIEA aims to support research, clarity and participation in fiscal policy making on debt and human rights in Africa. ADHR seeks to develop an African inspired financial model of development, free from entanglements with illicit financial flows, where debt is utilized sustainably, sought as last resort and secured through financial systems and creditors based on the borrowing state’s terms. The cluster’s vision is to support African economies by increasing transparency, clarity and participation in fiscal policymaking related to debt and to examine the impact on financing progress towards the achievement of human rights.

The Committee on Fiscal Studies is committed to the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, illicit financial flows, money laundering, bribery, and related financial misconduct. All individuals associated with our work, whether as staff, interns, consultants, or partners are expected to uphold these principles without exception. We wish to make clear that our institution does not knowingly engage with or provide platforms to individuals involved in corrupt practices, fraudulent activities, or violations of financial integrity standards. We categorically dissociate ourselves from any such conduct. We implement enhanced due diligence protocols for all prospective team members, including comprehensive background screening and verification of professional conduct. These measures apply across all roles and engagement types. Our work in fiscal governance, tax policy, and public finance demands unwavering commitment to legitimacy and transparency. We take this responsibility to our stakeholders, the organisations we serve, and the broader development community with utmost seriousness.
