ABOUT AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (AFDB) * It is a regional multilateral development finance institution established to contribute to the economic development and social progress of African countries–the institution's regional member countries. * The bank is also known as the Banque Africaine de Développement. * It was founded following an agreement signed by member states in 1963 in Khartoum, Sudan, which became effective in 1964. * Mission: To help reduce poverty, improve living conditions for Africans, and mobilize resources for the continent’s economic and social development. * AfDB seeks to stimulate and mobilize internal and external resources to promote investments as well as provide its regional member countries with technical and financial assistance. * It is a financial provider to African governments and private companies investing in the Bank’s regional member countries. * Headquarters: Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire * The AfDB Bank Group comprises three entities: the African Development Bank, the African Development Fund (ADF), and the Nigeria Trust Fund (NTF). * While the AfDB issues loans to African middle-income countries, the ADF supports countries that do not have sufficient resources to benefit from regular AfDB financing. These countries are offered interest-free loans and grants to finance sustainable development. * The NTF was founded in 1976 with capital from Nigeria. It provides cofinancing for AfDB measures and financing for NTF-specific measures in the public and private sectors in low-income member countries. * Membership: It has 81 member countries: 54 from the African continent and the other 27 from other regions around the world. * Shareholding: * The shareholding of the Bank is 60%-40% between regional member countries and non-regional member countries respectively. * Nigeria is the largest shareholder of AfDB. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q1) WHAT IS THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)?
