African Development Bank to host High-Level Consultation on Africa–Arab Development Finance in Abidjan
Monday, 12 January 2026 03:17
(AfDB) The African Development Bank Group will host a High-Level Consultation with the Arab Coordination Group, bringing together heads of Arab development finance institutions and senior leadership of the Bank Group in Abidjan on Tuesday, 13 January 2026.
The Arab Coordination Group is a strategic alliance of Arab development finance institutions that provides a coordinated response to development financing needs.
This consultation, the first of its kind, takes place at a moment of heightened financing pressure for African economies, amid tighter global liquidity, rising borrowing costs, and escalating climate and development needs.
Discussions will focus on how long-standing Africa–Arab cooperation can evolve toward more structured coordination and co-financing at scale, aligned with Africa’s priority sectors including energy access, climate resilience, food security, and private-sector development.
