As the global financial outlook continues to look dimmer with a prolonged war in Ukraine, many African countries are bracing themselves to ride out the storm.
The African Development Bank annual meeting happening in Ghana’s capital Accra, gave the opportunity for leaders to discuss the challenges that pandemic-induced losses in revenue have had on infrastructure. Ramping up climate finance was also a hot topic. This year’s theme focuses on how to achieve climate resilience and a just Energy Transition for Africa.
Ibrahim Bory Camara, a member of the Guinean delegation couldn’t agree more on the critical aspect of tackling climate crisis: “I believe the biggest challenge that Africa is facing is climate change, how the continent needs to adapt to all that is happening, but also how to enable Africa to open up to financial instruments in order to accelerate the development of the continent.”
Delegate Sigh Diagne, from Senegal, highlighted the challenges infrastructure sector, agriculture and youth unemployment’s development faced: “We need roads, ports, railroads, motoways to move goods from point A to point B , today the infrastructural deficit has an impact on gdp and growth, we have challenges interms of youth unemployment, we have challenges in having over 50 % of the population, that are women, that are not employed and they are disproportionately impacted by climate change because alot of them are subsistent farmers.”
While the South African commissioner to Ghana, Grace Mason also acknowledged the negative impact that disruptions to global supply chains had on many Africans, she pointed out that multilateral institutions like AfDB can play a significant role in the continent’s economic recovery. “It’s not the look at challenges towards development but look at the opportunities, she says. That’s why we are here, to leverage on the opportunities, especially institutions like multilateral institutions like AFDB, in terms of charting forward the development trajectory of the continent.”
On Monday, AfDB approved a $1.5 billion emergency programme to alleviate the impact of worsening food insecurity across the continent.
