The plan includes $170 million of debt relief and grant-like aid for Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The new plan also expands a debt relief facility previously used to cancel debt after Haiti&#039;s 2010 earthquake. The new expanded facility, the Catastrophe Containment and Relief Trust (CCR), is now a permanent debt relief facility for the world&#039;s poorest countries when they experience shocks such as epidemics or natural disasters.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Geography:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/global/international">Global/International</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-5 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/jubileeusa">Jubileeusa</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/ebola">ebola</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/debt-relief">debt relief</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/imf">IMF</a></div></div></div> Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:22:20 +0000 Anonymous 14596 at http://localhost/indymedia.org.au/drupal
