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.
