Today I announce my candidacy for President of the African Development Bank - the institution uniquely positioned to transform how development finance serves our continent.
Africa has everything it needs to thrive. But with 600M people lacking reliable power, 280M facing food insecurity, and youth unemployment rising, we must move from plans to action.
My experience delivering results speaks to the urgency of now: mobilizing a record $93B IDA replenishment, diligently managing complex $5B+ budgets, and driving implementation where it matters most - the last mile.
Grateful for SADC and COMESA's endorsement, and the support of H.E. President Hichilema (@HHichilema) and African leaders who share our vision: practical solutions, delivered at pace and scale.
The AfDB can be more than a bank - it can be the catalyst Africa needs. Together, we'll turn Africa's opportunities into prosperity.

Aujourd’hui, j’annonce ma candidature à la présidence de la Banque africaine de développement - l'institution clé pour transformer la manière dont la finance du développement peut servir notre continent.
L’Afrique a toutes les ressources nécessaires pour réussir. Malgré cela, avec 600 millions de personnes qui vivent sans un accès fiable à l’électricité, 280 millions d’Africains qui souffrent d’insécurité alimentaire, et un chômage des jeunes qui ne cesse de croître, nous devons passer de la théorie à la pratique.
Mon expérience et mon bilan répondent à l’urgence de la situation : levée de fonds record de 93 milliards de dollars pour refinancer l’IDA, gestion rigoureuse de budgets complexes dépassant les 5 milliards de dollars, et pilotage de projets là où cela compte le plus - directement sur le terrain.
Je suis reconnaissant envers la SADC et le COMESA pour leur soutien, ainsi qu’à Son Excellence le Président Hichilema (@HHichilema) et aux dirigeants africains qui partagent tout comme moi cette vision : des solutions concrètes, mises en œuvre à un rythme soutenu et à grande échelle.
La Banque africaine de développement peut être bien plus qu’une banque - elle peut être le moteur du changement dont l’Afrique a besoin. Ensemble, convertissons le potentiel de l’Afrique en prospérité durable.

april, magnify my awareness and shrink my fears, energize my purpose and starve any apprehensions. soften opinions i carry of myself so i’m not weighed down by perception, solidify my sense of self so it can’t be broken by anything that misunderstands me. lead me towards growth.
You want your wife to conceive children, breastfeed those children, take care of the house AND provide for half of the household income while you just provide for your half? I really don't think y'all understand how much that's not actually 50/50. It will NEVER be🙄💔🤞🏻
Before you sleep, I want to remind you that Psalms 103 says, The Lord is compassionate & gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
