The AERC with support from BMFG, is implementing a collaborative research project on “Evidence to drive reforms for Special Drawing Rights (SDR) financing in SSA economic recovery” focusing on countries that have high potential to use SDR allocations for development but currently face serious debt issues. The project focuses on the in-depth analysis of specific SDR financing issues in Ghana, Ethiopia, Senegal and Kenya with the objective to increase evidence and awareness about the role of SDRs as well as produce policy recommendations that are responsive to the specific needs and policy priorities of the four countries and that influence the policymaking process in those countries. Four papers from the following Think Tanks will be presented during the session.
