Uganda's Permanent Representative to the African Union and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Ambassador Rebecca Amuge Otengo, has urged sustained follow-up on financing commitments and the implementation of the Sevilla development agenda during a diplomatic briefing at ECA headquarters in Addis Ababa on 18 September 2026. Ambassador Otengo called for regular progress briefings and highlighted the ECA's role in engaging international financial institutions such as the World Bank and IMF to support African development priorities, while stressing that domestic resource mobilisation must be backed by economic growth and increased productive capacity. Uganda also voiced strong support for a proposed Borrowers' Club — a coordination platform for debtor nations — including the creation of an African chapter to help the continent present a unified position on debt and international financial reform.
