Published purpose

This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the African Development Fund (ADF). The ADF uses these funds and other donors’ funding to achieve its mandate. The ADF is the grant and low-interest arm of the African Development Bank (AfDB) that provides financial support to Africa's low-income countries. This 15th replenishment (ADF-15) seeks to support inclusive growth and resilience in these countries. It includes tackling the root causes of fragility and vulnerability in the process. The fund also aims to support countries currently facing severe socio-economic impacts of climate change and help them prepare to cope with climate-related consequences. By contributing to the ADF-15, Canada seeks to advance the AfDB’s poverty reduction priorities, focusing on gender equality and women and girls’ empowerment in low-income African countries.
