ICC is a proud supporter of this historic coalition, with expert local private sector networks who are helping drive transformative change and unlocking Africa’s potential to enable a brighter future for everyone, everywhere.
19 African leaders unveil bold transformation agenda at Africa Heads of State Summit, backed by powerful new coalition.
In a historic show of unity, 19 African Heads of State assembled at a major summit committed to focusing development aspirations across the continent. This ambitious agenda, aiming to dramatically improve lives and create new opportunities, positions the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) as a cornerstone for success.
Beyond pronouncements, the summit witnessed the birth of a significant partnership—a coalition uniting civil society, foundations, the private sector, and young people. The new coalition will champion a robust and ambitious replenishment of IDA's resources, fueling Africa's development engine.
Currently, IDA supports 75 nations, 39 of them in Africa. Over 70 percent of its resources are directed toward the continent, playing a vital role in achieving the World Bank Group's goal of bringing electricity to 250 million Africans by 2030.
Leaders from across Africa pledge ambitious economic reforms, with the World Bank's IDA at the heart of the strategy.
ICC has become part of a powerful coalition of partners backing a bold transformation agenda announced at the Africa Heads of State Summit this week in Nairobi. As a proud supporter of the historic coalition, we will leverage the networks and know-how of the private sector drive transformative change and unlock Africa’s potential to enable a brighter future.
