The Africa24 Group (https://Africa24TV.com) will bring you full live coverage, from 25 to 29 May 2026 in Brazzaville, of the 61st Meeting of the Board of Governors of the African Development Bank and the 52nd Meeting of the African Development Fund, the AfDB Group’s main annual statutory event.
The Kintélé International Centre will host more than 3,000 participants: heads of state and government, finance and planning ministers, delegates from the AfDB’s 81 member countries, central bank governors, private sector representatives, international financial institutions, philanthropists, civil society, academics and the media.
The 2026 Annual Meetings are the first for Dr Sidi Ould Tah, who took office as the ninth President of the African Development Bank Group in September 2025. One of the first major achievements under his leadership is the seventeenth replenishment of the African Development Fund (ADF-17), which took place in December 2025 in London and raised a record $11 billion.
Under the theme ‘Mobilising resources on a large scale to finance Africa’s development in a fragmented world’, the proceedings aim to develop an innovative financial architecture for Africa in the face of geopolitical shifts.
“Mobilising resources on a large scale to finance Africa’s development in a fragmented world”.
Africa needs long-term financing for energy, food security, climate change adaptation, infrastructure and job creation for a growing and anxious population. Furthermore, the continent’s development financing gap stands at $400 billion per year. Africa holds approximately $4 trillion in savings in pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other similar savings mechanisms; under the New African Financial Architecture for Development (NAFAD), spearheaded by President Ould Tah, these resources will be mobilised for investable projects with a socio-economic impact.
