As the African Development Bank Group celebrates its 60th anniversary, it is a milestone highlighted by progress and meaningful partnerships, the bank will hold its 2025 Civil Society Organization Forum online at Abidjan headquarters on Thursday, May 8th.
For 60 years, banks have integrated the voice of their community into their mission. Civil society organizations are pivotal partners on this journey, building strategic alliances with government, private sector and development partners.
The forum provides a vibrant platform for exchanging experiences and addressing challenges. Through this event, we will ensure that development efforts are comprehensive, sustainable and impactful.
This biennial gathering provides direct involvement with the bank and forms a development programme. Local forums will also be held in all banking regions to coordinate banking work with citizens’ goals.
This year’s forum works:
Celebration of institutionalized civil society’s involvement. A panel discussion featuring the perspectives of citizens and civil society organizations on Africa’s development. The success stories of civil society organizations are successful through bank initiative performances by local artists and grassroots representatives.
Celebrate the achievements and bridges for future collaborations!
