A delegation led by the Executive Secretary of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) visited the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) on 25 October 2016 in Khartoum, Sudan. The delegation met Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, Director General of BADEA and had fruitful consultations with the Technical Assistance Division. Several areas of partnerships between BADEA and ACBF were discussed during these consultations.
The mission to BADEA is part of ACBF’s effort to diversify its partnerships for the implementation of its new Strategy (2017-2021)
During their exchanges, the Director General of BADEA and the Executive Secretary of ACBF agreed on the significant potential for partnership between the two institutions and exhorted the two institutions to explore them at technical level. Several areas of partnerships were indeed identified at technical level and will form the basis for the cooperation between BADEA and ACBF over the next three years (2017-2019). These areas include women and youth empowerment, as well as capacity retention and utilization, for sustainable development in Africa.
