Funding trends in the African Development Bank are noticeably shifting. Looking ahead to 2018, development organizations will be grappling with a reprioritization of funding, a shift towards private firms and the entry — and the success — of new actors, such as Asian contractors.
What opportunities do these changes present? On February 7 at 9am EST (3pm CET), Devex is hosting a discussion on AfDB's funding trends — and how organizations can plan around them.
In this one-hour webinar, we'll explore:
- How the AfDB's priorities have shifted over time — and what they're predicted to be in 2018
- What the AfDB is looking for in its contractors
- How procurement varies by geography and sector
- Tips for organizations looking to find local partners
This online event is open exclusively to Devex Executive Members. If you haven't upgraded yet, you can do so as part of your registration.
