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 81 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 (2024 – 2033) 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 Bank has reorganized itself and is setting up the Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery Complex, whose primary objective is to build regional capacity and bring responsibility for client activities closer to the regions. Accordingly, five Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery Offices, each run by a Director-General, have been created in Southern Africa, North Africa, West Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa.
HIRING DEPARTMENT/COUNTRY OFFICE The Bank’s various Country Offices each report to one of the five (5) Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery Offices. Each Regional Office oversees a combination of country and liaison offices as well as countries where the Bank has no offices. The Deputy Director-General reports to the Director-General on the activities within their region of assignment. Each Regional Office hosts the relevant operations, project implementation and business development functions and administrative capacity in a shared service for rapid deployment within the various countries, thus contributing to the Bank |
