The 58th annual meetings of the African Development Bank Board of Directors and the 49th meetings of the African Development Fund Board of Directors will take place in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, from 22 to 26 May 2023. The African Development Fund is the concessional arm of the banking group,

The theme of the 2023 Annual Meetings is Mobilizing private sector finance for climate and green growth in Africa. It provides a framework for the banking group’s governors to share their experiences in boosting private finance at home and abroad and leveraging natural capital to bridge the climate finance gap and foster the transition to green growth in Africa.

In particular, the theme provides an opportunity for governors to discuss Africa’s challenges in attracting private sector finance for low-carbon investments and the practical policies governments can deploy to address these bottlenecks.

The annual meetings of the African Development Bank Group consisted of statutory meetings of its governors (finance ministers or central bank governors representing the 81 member states) and knowledge events. Attendees included representatives from bilateral and multilateral development agencies, leading academics and non-governmental organizations, civil society and the private sector.

The meetings are the most important annual event of the Bank Group and attract around 3,000 participants. They enable the organization to take stock of progress with its shareholders.

Interested journalists are invited to send a press card and letter of appointment from their media organization to [email protected] to get the reference code for online registration.
