  • What the Debt Crisis in Kenya Reveals About International Lending
    2024/11/26
    Thousands of Kenyans protested against a finance bill in June that would have increased taxes on many everyday items. This was proposed in part to help pay off loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, which account for more than 40% of the country’s foreign debt. But what is the country’s current fiscal climate? And how are these debts impacting gender equality? On today’s episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, host Reena Ninan talks with Nairobi-based reporter Sharon Kiburi, who has been following Kenya’s debt crisis. Kiburi tells Ninan about her interview with Wanjira Wanjiru, a lead protestor against the June finance bill, co-founder of the Mathare Social Justice Centre, and co-host of the Liberating Minds podcast. Then, we hear from Diana Gichengo, Executive Director of the Institute for Social Accountability (TISA). She discusses TISA’s efforts to engage with the IMF about their program in Kenya, which is largely expected to end in March. Gichengo spoke on a panel organized by Transparency International U.S. and moderated by the Trust, Accountability, and Inclusion (TAI) Collaborative on the sidelines of the IMF/World Bank meetings in October. Guests and organizations: Sharon Kiburi, journalist based in Nairobi, Kenya. This is her second time reporting for HERO. Wanjira Wanjiru, co-founder of the Mathare Social Justice Centre and the co-host of the Liberating Minds podcast. Diana Gichengo, Executive Director of the Institute for Social Accountability (TISA) in Kenya. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How Christine Lagarde Fights for Gender Equality
    2024/11/19
    The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is back for a very special seventh season. If you’re a longtime listener, you’ll know our show generally focuses on women from the Global Majority, or the Global South. But this time, we wanted to cover the banks and institutions shaping global funding – particularly as the world is facing an unprecedented amount of governmental debt. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global public debt is expected to top 100 trillion dollars this year, its highest level ever. Many countries are facing painful choices about how to spend fewer resources, including on programs critical to women and girls. We recorded most of our interviews at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in late October, right before the U.S. presidential election. Here, financial leaders decide how to spend billions of dollars on top development priorities, like poverty reduction, climate change, and gender equality. We’ll try to answer some big questions this season: How are countries and multilateral institutions grappling with so much government debt? What are they doing to prepare for the new U.S. administration? And how is all this impacting the fight for gender equality? For the season premiere, we wanted to start by looking at what has worked in the past. We talk to two incredible women who have both been finance ministers and leaders at multilateral institutions about how they have advanced women and girls economically. Guests and organizations: Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank and former head of the IMF Malado Kaba, Former Head of Gender at the African Development Bank and current managing director of Falémé Conseil First, host Reena Ninan speaks with Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank, former head of the International Monetary Fund, and former finance minister of France. She is the first woman ever to hold any of these roles. Lagarde was also named by Forbes as the #2 most powerful woman in the world last year. Special thanks to our media partner for this season, the Atlantic Council. They hosted Lagarde at an event during the IMF/World Bank meetings right before our interview. Then, host Reena Ninan interviews Malado Kaba, Former Director of the Gender, Women and Civil Society Department of the African Development Bank. She was also the first ever female finance and economy minister for the Republic of Guinea. Kaba is currently the managing director of Falémé Conseil, a consultancy firm focused on African economic growth.
