Nature isn’t a “nice extra”—it’s raw economic power. When we value it, we protect it. Young finance leaders can rewrite the rules and make nature count. #NaturalCapital

I am absolutely delighted with the news of the successful conclusion of the 17th replenishment of the ADF! My congratulations to @AfDB_Group President Sidi Ould Tah and his team on the record $11 billion, replenishment. Africa needs this!

[African Development Bank Group @AfDB_Group]

Following the historic success of the 17th replenishment of the African Development Fund which mobilised a record $11 billion, @AfDB_Group President Sidi Ould Tah and Baroness Chapman convened the Africa Private Capital Mobilisation Day in London, bringing public and private partners together to scale coordinated private capital solutions for Africa’s development.

The discussions focus on how concessional finance, guarantees, co-financing and risk-sharing can work together to crowd in private investment at scale, lower the cost of capital and accelerate delivery.

The spirit of Africa’s rivers (flowing, resilient, yet fragile). reminds us that water is not just a resource; it is heritage, identity, and hope.

If you could protect one African river for future generations, which would it be and why?, #WaterSecurity, #GlobalWaterCrisis,
