The African Development Bank’s development agenda aims to provide financial and technical support to transformative projects that will significantly reduce poverty through inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Africa. To better focus on the objectives of the Ten-Year Strategy (2024-2033) and achieve greater development impact, the Bank has defined five major areas (High 5s) for its interventions in Africa to be intensified to accelerate the achievement of results, namely: energy, agro-industry, industrialization, integration and improving the quality of life of the African people.

The Vice Presidency for Agriculture, Human and Social Development is a sector complex whose activities are structured around the 5 major priorities (High 5) of the Bank’s Ten Year Strategy, and more specifically the priorities “Feed Africa” and “Improve the quality of life for the people of Africa”. The objectives of the complex are: i) the development of policies and strategies, ii) the provision of in-depth sector expertise to the regions, thanks to a pool of specialists who can be consulted on complex transactions, and iii) the development of new financing instruments.
