In 2021, the African Development Bank added 91 new projects into its quarterly operational summaries — a series of reports that contain all the programs that enter the bank’s pipeline.
Data in the QOS is not final. New projects are expected to be submitted for board approval six months after publication in the QOS, so information such as description and loan amount are still subject to change until a project agreement is signed.
Devex dug into the QOS reports published throughout 2021 to see where the bank is putting its money and what its priority regions and sectors are. We also identified top projects.
