Compact with Africa: Sani Yaya asks Africa’s G20 partners for greater support to deal with Covid-19

(Togo First) - Sani Yaya, Togo’s minister of economy and finance, asked G20 members to support African nations facing the Covid-19 pandemic more. This was last Friday, during the 3rd Compact with Africa (CwA) Summit held physically, in Berlin, and virtually.

The Togolese minister said it is necessary that economies concerned get funds to easily have access to drugs, diagnostic equipment, and to massively produce vaccines.

“I take this opportunity to plead for greater support from our G20 partners for our countries, to further support our efforts to develop in line with our people’s aspirations,” said Yaya. 

On the same occasion, the minister of finance urged German investors to take part in Togo’s key projects - projects falling under the country’s 2020-2025 roadmap. 

Launched in 2017 by Angela Merkel, Compact with Africa regroups G20 members and international finance institutions. They discuss ways to support Africa’s development more and promote investment on the continent. 

Togo joined the Summit in 2018, with 11 other African countries.
