    3 key issues to watch out for at the 2015 AfDB annual meetings

    The African development community is looking forward to the election of a new president at next week's AfDB annual meetings. But there's more.

    By Jenny Lei Ravelo // 22 May 2015

    A week from now, Africa’s premier development finance institution will elect its new president.

    Eight candidates are vying for the position, and the African Development Bank’s board of governors is expected to choose the candidate best suited for the job before the annual meetings come to a close.

    The deliberation kicks off midweek, and during this time the governors will meet and engage the candidates in dialogue. The eight presidential hopefuls have until then to push for their agendas and gather support from regional and nonregional members before the Thursday, May 28, election. They will also have a chance to listen in and gather views on the various issues the bank and its member states are faced with, including on health, gender equality and climate financing, which are emerging to be the biggest topics at the weeklong event.
