Finance in Common Summit 2022 | African Development Bank Group | 18 October 2022 | TBA, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

The Summit will provide an opportunity to highlight the key role of Public Development Banks (PDBs) in supporting the transformation of economies and financial systems towards sustainability. As the COVID 19 crisis wrote off decades of economic investments and social progress, it is crucial to mainstream green and just transition principles in all financial actors’ investments and operations in order to build back greener and fairer.

This summit will foster debates on the importance of finance in common to resilience and adaptation, green and quality infrastructure, health and social protection, while supporting human rights-based approaches and fighting against inequalities.
