Play leading role in financing capacity building, ACBF urges African states
In light of the significant capacity challenges facing the continent, which requires more resources, there is an urgent need for Africans to step up their own financial support and take the lead in advocating for the financing of the activities of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF). This appeal was made by the Foundation’s Executive Secretary, Prof. Emmanuel Nnadozie, at the inaugural meeting of the Permanent Committee of the Board of Governors of the Foundation on Resource Mobilization held on 3-4 November 2014 in Lome, Togo.

ACBF has been granted the status of a specialized agency because of the potential to transform Africa through capacity development.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

H.E. Erastus Mwencha, Chair, ACBF Executive Board

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Mr. Lamin Momodou MANNEH, Director, UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Hon. Goodall Gondwe, former Chair of the ACBF Board of Governors and Minister of Finance – Malawi

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.

Hon Ken Ofori Atta, Chair of the ACBF Board of Governors and Minister of Finance - Ghana
