Objectives

THE BANK:
Established in 1964, the African Development Bank is the premier pan-African development institution, promoting economic growth and social progress across the continent. There are 80 member states, including 54 in Africa (Regional Member Countries).  The Bank’s development agenda is delivering the financial and technical support for transformative projects that will significantly reduce poverty through inclusive and sustainable economic growth. In order to sharply focus the objectives of the Ten Year Strategy (2013 – 2022) and ensure greater developmental impact, five major areas (High 5s), all of which will accelerate our delivery for Africa, have been identified for scaling up, namely; energy, agro-business, industrialization, integration and improving the quality of life for the people of Africa. The Bank is seeking to build a management team that will lead the successful implementation of this vision.

THE COMPLEX:

THE HIRING DEPARTMENT:

The Department of Agriculture and Agro-Industry supports the implementation of the "Feed Africa: Strategy for Agricultural Transformation in Africa: 2016-2025" program. The strategy aims to eradicate hunger and poverty over the next decade through food self-sufficiency in eighteen (18) priority value commodity-based value chains specific to the continent's agro-ecological zones. Achieving the goals set out in the strategy requires increased productivity, added value, investment in infrastructure, an enabling agri-food environment, capital inflows and inclusion, sustainability and effective nutrition. The Department is leading efforts to transform Africa's agricultural systems to increase competitiveness, inclusion and sustainability, as well as enhancing job creation and poverty reduction.
