AfDB - African Development Bank Gro

Objet publié

This contribution represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the African Development Bank (AfDB). The AfDB uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. The AfDB works to reduce poverty, improve living conditions and mobilize resources for the sustainable economic and social development of its 53 African-country members. The Bank promotes cooperation (including regional and sub-regional cooperation) and international trade, particularly among its African-member states. The AfDB Medium Term Strategy focuses on infrastructure, governance, developing a more robust private sector, and higher education. Through investments in these areas, the Bank contributes directly to regional integration, middle-income countries (MIC) and fragile states assistance, human development and agriculture. Knowledge generation, climate change and gender will be mainstreamed in all the institution’s operations.
