A DEVEX BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE WEBINAR

  • Tags:
  • funding, business development
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
The panel will also take audience questions. We invite you to share them during the event or in advance by submitting to [email protected].

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.
