Finance and Development Planning Minister, Boima Kamara, is attending the African Development Bank (AFDB) Annual Meetings which started yesterday, May 27 and expected to end on the 31st, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya.
Minister Kamara, who departed the country over the weekend, is accompanied by Deputy Finance Minister for Economic Management, Dehpue Zuo.
The AFDB group Annual Meetings present a unique opportunity for knowledge dissemination among high-level decision makers in Africa, key officials of bilateral and multilateral Development Agencies, leading academics and representatives of non-governmental organizations, civil society, and the private sector.
The theme for this year meetings, which comprise the 59th Annual Assembly of the AFDB and the 50th meeting of the African Development Fund is ‘Africa’s Transformation, African Development Bank Group, and Reform of the Global Financial Architecture.’
In a release issued over the weekend by the Finance Ministry, Minister Kamara will serve as panelist on Thematic Knowledge Event 2: “Measuring the Green Wealth of Nations: Natural Capital and Economic Productivity in Africa.”
The 2024 Annual Meetings will include a Presidential Dialogue, a High-level plenary for the launch of the Bank’s flagship publication—the 2024 African Economic Outlook (AEO), and two thematic knowledge events.
Consistent with the theme of the Annual Meetings, the focus of these knowledge events will be to fast-track structural transformation in Africa as a panacea for faster socio-economic transformation.
The knowledge events will also address the importance of a reconfigured global financial architecture as an engine for structural transformation, and the Bank Group’s contribution towards Africa’s socio-economic transformation in its 60 years of existence.
