“It is outrageous that the IMF is once again calling for cuts to government wage bills" - ActionAid reacts to the Fiscal Monitor presented by the IMF
Reacting to the Fiscal Monitor presented by the IMF on 23 October 2024, Roos Saalbrink the Global Economic Justice Lead at ActionAid International said:
“It is outrageous that the IMF is once again calling for cuts to government wage bills as this will directly impact the provision of services in key sectors such as education, social protection and health. This will further expose women who are usually the first to lose access to services, lose frontline jobs, and take on the unpaid care and domestic work that arises from failed public services.”
Spokespeople available:
- Roos Saalbrink, ActionAid International’s Global Economic Justice Lead
- Lina Moraa, Women Rights & Programmes Advisor at ActionAid International, is attending the annuals in Washington DC
- Celestine Odo, Head of Programmes at ActionAid Nigeria
