African Development Bank Group, World Economic Forum launch investment roadmap for fragile economies

# The African Development Bank Group and the World Economic Forum have launched the Humanitarian and Resilience Investing Roadmap for Africa to attract private investment into some of the continent’s most fragile economies. The initiative aims to address Africa’s estimated annual development financing gap of 6.4-trillion-rand. The roadmap seeks to unlock sustainable funding for infrastructure, economic recovery and resilience-building projects. Organisers say the partnership will help mobilise investors, reduce risks and strengthen long-term growth opportunities in vulnerable African states.
