22/03/2016 - "It seems we are all agreed that the solutions lie within Africa," said Charles Boamah, Acting First Vice-President and COO of the African Development Bank, and moderator of a panel debating the power and potential of African local capital markets on Day 2 of the Africa CEO Forum in Abidjan. The panelists were unanimous that Africa has the means to finance its own development needs, and the discussion focused largely on the methods. With necessity the mother of invention, Africa has been reinventing itself to fund its own needs, said Boamah, but more needs to be done and it has to be done faster. The task at hand for the panel therefore was to unpack and unpick how best the continent should continue along this track. Categories: Côte d'Ivoire, Private Sector, Partnerships
22/03/2016 - The African Development Bank (AfDB) has released Financing Change: the AfDB and CIF for a Climate-Smart Africa, its 2015 Annual Report for its Climate Investment Funds (CIF) portfolio. The report demonstrates that by the end of 2015 through its AfDB-supported CIF portfolio, 27 African nations – half of Africa – had become engaged in various aspects of climate solutions, and through 39 pilot programs are embedding them in their national development economic and social goals. The work is also significant institutionally for AfDB because it serves as a critical support in shifting the Bank's core work to fulfill its ambitious goal to triple climate financing for Africa by 2020.
