Le Groupe de la Banque africaine de développement a tiré la sonnette d’alarme sur le besoin urgent de financement climatique en Afrique. C’était lors d’un sommet de ministres de finance africains tenu en #Ouganda, organisé pour aborder la question cruciale de la mobilisation du financement climatique. Représentant la Banque, Anthony Nyong, directeur du Département du Changement climatique et de la Croissance verte, a souligné le besoin pressant d'une participation accrue du secteur privé au financement de la lutte contre le changement climatique. « Nous devons mobiliser 213,4 milliards de dollars par an auprès du secteur privé pour combler le déficit de financement de la lutte contre le changement climatique en Afrique d'ici 2030 », a déclaré M. Nyong. Il a identifié les risques d'investissement élevés et les mauvaises notations de crédit comme des obstacles importants à la participation du secteur privé. « Il est temps d'agir et nous devons agir maintenant », a alerté Bock Kalokh, ministre des Finances de la Sierra Leone. Ces pairs ont souligné la nécessité d'investissements stratégiques dans des économies résilientes, notant que 25 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre proviennent du secteur agricole. M. Nyong a rappelé l'initiative de la Banque africaine de développement qu’est l'Alliance financière africaine sur le changement climatique (AFAC), précisant qu’elle vise à accélérer l'allocation de capitaux pour la résilience climatique de l'Afrique.

The U.S. National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) awarded its “Salute to Excellence Award” to the African Development Bank Group’s 2023 digital campaign in honour of International Women’s Day. The winning communications campaign highlighted Bank efforts to advance its Gender Strategy and gender mainstreaming activities, including press releases, a webinar, social media posts, media relations engagement, written feature stories, videos, blogs and a podcast. These various contributions were drawn from various Bank departments and programmes. Dr. Beth Dunford, the Bank’s Vice President for Agriculture, Human and Social Development commented: “This recognition from the National Association of Black Journalists comes as the Bank increasingly takes a ‘One Bank’ approach to mainstreaming gender across our operations internally and across the continent.” “Our multimedia communications help tell the world through stories and testimony from Africa’s women, African Development Bank employees and our gender allies that African Development Bank Group is delivering solutions to reduce gender disparities across digital, economic, access to finance, and other sectors,” Dr Dunford added.

The African Development Bank Group has approved a $10 million junior equity investment in the KawiSafi II venture equity fund. This investment will provide support to local businesses in creating and expanding climate projects that aid vulnerable communities. The Bank’s investment in KawiSafi II is drawn from the Bank’s Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA). KawiSafi II is a $200 million venture equity fund to address investment gaps in energy transition, productivity, mobility and logistics in sub-Saharan Africa. The KawiSafi II fund also provides technical assistance to maximise climate impact and ensure better management of environmental, social, and governance risks. “As the leading development finance institution on the continent, the Bank’s catalytic commitment will leverage investments into breakthrough African start-ups addressing climate change through renewable energy, clean mobility, and other key sectors crucial to achieving our climate goals,” Amar Inamdar, the Managing Director of KawiSafi Ventures, commented. João Duarte Cunha, Manager of the Bank Group’s Renewable Energy Funds Division, which oversees SEFA, said, "The KawiSafi Fund II presents an opportunity to avail more venture and growth capital to emerging businesses linked to energy access and energy transition, at a time when such capital is most needed in the market."

En 2023, le Mécanisme africain de financement du développement des engrais (MAFDE) du Groupe de la Banque africaine de développement a étendu son programme de garantie de crédit commercial à quatre nouveaux pays : #Kenya, #Mozambique, #Tanzanie et #Ouganda. Le programme cible les importateurs privés, les mélangeurs d’engrais, les grossistes et les sociétés de distribution ayant besoin de capitaux d’investissement. En outre, entre 2018 et 2023, le MAFDE a facilité l’accès rapide au financement et aux engrais de qualité, atteignant 30 % de son objectif. Le programme a permis d’accéder au financement de l’approvisionnement en engrais, atteignant 86,5 % de son objectif. Le MAFDE a également soutenu l’élaboration de réformes politiques visant à accroître l’investissement dans la chaîne de valeur des engrais et a encouragé l’utilisation appropriée des engrais auprès de plus de 64 000 petits exploitants agricoles grâce au renforcement des capacités et à l’assistance technique. Ces initiatives et d’autres ont permis d’améliorer la productivité agricole sur le continent. Pour en savoir plus, consultez le rapport annuel 2023 du MAFDE : https://bit.ly/3yxephq #FeedAfrica

According to The African Economic Outlook (AEO) 2024 report, released in May 2024 by the African Development Bank, Africa's structural transformation has been slow and uneven. As a result, Africa was the only region of the world where the average real GDP per capita contracted in the 1980s and 1990s. The continent is grappling with financing shortfalls that put at risk its ability to meet its Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, to meet its infrastructure development needs, and to finance climate change mitigation measures, among others. This blog, co-authored by the African Development Bank Group’s Adamon Mukasa and Anthony Simpasa, looks unflinchingly at the results of decades of underfinancing of Africa’s public sector. The blog also makes an urgent call for, among others, greater access to concessional development financing at scale. Read the blog: https://bit.ly/3Szklx6 About the authors: Adamon Mukasa is the African Development Bank Group’s Principal Research Economist. Anthony Simpasa is the Manager, Macroeconomic Policy, Debt Sustainability and Forecasting Division in the Macroeconomic Policy, Forecasting and Research Department of the African Development Bank.
