Objectives

The AfDB’ s mission is to fight poverty and improve living conditions on the continent through promoting the investment of public and private capital in projects and programs that are likely to contribute to the economic and social development of the region. It has made significant progress in solidifying its place as a key development partner for its Regional Member Countries (RMCs) and has had great impact on development in Africa over the past 50 years. Over the last 10 years in particular, it has both expanded its range of activities and maintained its AAA rating. Among various achievements on the continent, from 2012 to 2015 the Bank has improved access to transport for 20 million people, improved access to electricity for 10 million people, and supported agricultural developments that have benefited 10 million people. The African Development Bank is now the leading financial institution in the continent and Africa’s voice on global economic, financial, and development issues. The Bank has also continuously increased its capital to sustain growing lending in Africa while retaining its AAA rating. Since September, it has initiated and assumed the leadership role to drive the implementation of the Bank’s Ten Year Strategy (TYS) with a focus on key areas TYS’ High 5s. The TYS pursues two broad strategic objectives – supporting inclusive growth and a transition to green growth. While these objectives remain relevant, a number of recent global and regional economic and social developments require that implementation of the TYS be scaled up significantly to accelerate development impact and focus on five high priority objectives - namely, Light up and Power Africa; Feed Africa; Industrialize Africa; Integrate Africa; and Improve the quality of life for Africans (together, the “High 5’s”).
