African Development Bank
FAO and the AfDB have collaborated since 1967 to foster sustainable economic development through innovative financial solutions to boost public and private investment in Africa’s agrifood sector.
Recent joint work includes the FAO Investment Centre’s support in producing roadmaps for Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Niger and South Sudan in the lead-up to the 2023 Dakar 2 Feed Africa Summit. The goal was to facilitate the development of the respective countries’ Food and Agriculture Delivery Compacts to mobilize engagement among public, private, technical and development partners. This work built on existing initiatives such as the National Agriculture Investment Plans and FAO’s Hand-in-Hand initiative. The Centre partnered with AfDB and the Republic of South Sudan to lead preparation of the South Sudan Food and Agriculture Compact Delivery project.
Other joint efforts include the design of an integrated livestock value chain project in Burkina Faso as well as GAFSP-funded projects in the Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia.
