The unpayable debts of Africa's impoverished countries should be cancelled immediately, in full, releasing funds for poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the HIPC Initiative should be urgently and radically reformed so that debt cancellation for all heavily indebted African countries can proceed rapidly under a fair and transparent process that reinforces democratic institutions and processes and counteracts corruption. This is according to the report of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, produced in partnership with Jubilee Debt Campaign, that makes urgent recommendations on debt cancellation for a strong and prosperous Africa.
