ABIDJAN — The African Development Bank’s semi-annual Business Opportunities Seminar brought together contractors, consultants, manufacturers, and suppliers last week to meet with sector specialists, hear about the bank’s strategic direction, and learn more about various financial products available.
This year’s first BOS included discussions with leaders representing procurement-related departments, including co-financing and client solutions, acquisition and integrity, and anti-corruption. This follows the previous October 2017 meeting in Kenya that focused on the bank’s structural decentralization and key priorities under its current 10-year “High 5” development agenda.
