AfDB urges Africa to boost local industries, job creation, and climate-resilient growth.
Dr. Sidi Ould Tah of the African Development Bank urged African nations at the CGECI Academy in Abidjan to turn global trade disruptions into a chance for economic transformation. He stressed stronger regional value chains, local raw material processing, and green industrialisation led by the private sector. AfDB’s four-pillar strategy focuses on mobilizing capital, financial reforms, job creation, and climate-resilient infrastructure. Ivory Coast’s Prime Minister and business leaders echoed calls for bold action, partnerships, and youth entrepreneurship to restore Africa’s economic sovereignty.
