As part of the Western Cape Government’s whole of society approach, Cabinet resolved to have regular interactions with the Western Cape Faith Based Organisations (FBOs) and religious leaders on Covid-19 government interventions. Over these past months, the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) has regularly met with the FBO network with the intention of improving and streamlining communication between government and citizens in the province.

The forum creates a platform where members can receive vetted information made available by the Western Cape Government and in many ways becomes a voice piece for the religious leaders and their constituencies to directly engage with government and ask the most relevant questions that relate to what communities/congregants are currently facing.
With the resurgence of positive cases in the province the IMC will again meet with the FBO network this evening to engage on the drastic actions needed to stop the spread of COVID-19, particularly at religious gatherings, which are proving to be super spreader events more often than not.
Chaired by Dr. Ivan Meyer and supported by Ministers Anroux Marais and Sharna Fernandez and Mr. Donald Grant, the engagement this evening will have Premier Alan Winde address the meeting in which Dr. Keith Cloete will present on the current trajectory of COVID-19 in the Western Cape and expectations for the months ahead. The key point on the agenda will be the severe strain our hospital system and essential workers are currently experiencing and to plead with our religious leaders to assist with the drastic actions needed to change behavior in their respective spaces to responsibly observe the coming festive season and annual traditional services.
Head of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Faith Based Organisations, Minister Ivan Meyer said, “We believe that spiritual leaders offer unique insights into the social and spiritual wellbeing of our citizens. As crucial stakeholders in our provincial response to Covid-19, our religious leaders have been asking us the right questions and guiding us in many ways, to package information that is most practical at ground level. We appreciate their commitment, level of engagement and constant inputs they provide in helping us find innovative solutions where necessary. However, to keep safe and to save lives, we must do everything we can to limit our exposure to other people, even though we know this is extremely hard over what is normally our most social time of year”.
We all need to work together by changing our behavior to prevent COVID-19 from spreading. The Western Cape Government calls on everyone to focus on avoiding the 3 C’s: crowded spaces, close contact and confined and enclosed spaces, in addition to mask wearing and hand hygiene. We all need to play our part if we are to get through the peak of the second wave.
District Mayors from the various municipalities also form part of this platform and are encouraged by the FBO framework to establish similar forums within their respective districts. This will enable them to engage with spiritual leaders at local level, thus ensuring that information shared during these engagements cascades down to every citizen within the Western Cape. As we move into a more targeted Hotspot Strategy as a province, the use of the FBO leaders who are also champions at district level, becomes even more pivotal in establishing responsible behavioral change in these areas of higher transmissions.
We acknowledge the exceptional work done by these religious leaders during the Covid-19 and lockdown period, as we continue to engage in our joint efforts to combat this pandemic.

The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) (www.ITFC-IDB.org), member of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, has advised and confirmed the first standalone Letter of Credit in favour of Groupe Chimique Tunisien in Tunisia under the recently approved LC Confirmation Facility.

The LC which was issued by City Bank Ltd Bangladesh facilitated the timely shipment of fertilizer from Tunisia to Bangladesh, an intra-OIC trade flow. The import will enable Noapara Group, the importer, to facilitate the domestic supply of highly sought-after fertilizer to farmers for the production of staple foods for the country.

ITFC’s newly developed standalone LC Confirmation instrument is open to all segments of clients but targeting mainly SMEs, by way of providing exporters risk mitigation for their sales to importers in OIC member countries.

Commenting on the importance of the transaction, Eng. Hani Salem Sonbol, ITFC CEO, said: ‘ITFC is delighted to have taken another crucial step towards enhancing trade finance products and solutions aimed at supporting private sector clients, through partnership with the local  financial institutions, to advance  trade operations and improve livelihoods. The LC Confirmation facility provided to The City Bank Limited has facilitated the smooth procurement of fertilizer, which is essential for food security of Bangladesh. Agriculture is the largest employment sector in the country, employing around 38% of the nation’s workforce and the timely import of fertilizers from Groupe Chimique Tunisien helps secure and support these jobs.”

Commenting on the LC Confirmation facility from ITFC, City Bank Ltd Bangladesh Additional Managing Director and Head of Wholesale Banking, Trade Service, SME-Small and Micro-Finance Sheikh Mohammad Maroof, commented, “It is a privilege for City Bank to be ITFC’s partner in their first standalone LC confirmation transaction. We appreciate ITFC’s continuous efforts towards enhancing trade facilities for OIC member countries including Bangladesh. We are looking forward to the development of Bangladesh’s agriculture and private sector with support from ITFC.”

Md. Saidur Rahman, MD of Noapara Group said, “I would like to thank City Bank and ITFC for the smooth execution of the transaction. This partnership has vastly improved the value we can provide to the end users of the fertilizer &#8211; our farmers.”

The ITFC LC Confirmation product is structured to allow exporters to gain assurance from a multi-lateral financial institution to secure payment while mitigating the credit and country risks of the LCs Issuing Banks.

About the International Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC): The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) (www.ITFC-IDB.org) is a member of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group.

Commencing operations in January 2008, ITFC has provided more than US$53.9 billion of financing to OIC member countries, making it the leading provider of trade solutions for these member countries’ needs. With a mission to become a catalyst for trade development for OIC member countries and beyond, the Corporation helps entities in member countries gain better access to trade finance and provides them with the necessary trade-related capacity building tools, which would enable them to successfully compete in the global market.
