The African Development Bank’s board has approved a new People Strategy for the next five years, designed to enhance the bank’s standing as the continent’s premier development institution.
The strategy seeks to tap AfDB’s human capital – its most valuable resource – to deliver, through the institution’s projects, optimal development results for the people of Africa.
Commenting on the strategy, Mateus Magala, Vice President of Corporate Services and Human Resources, Mateus Magala, said, “We are delighted to move forward with the adoption of the AfDB’s People Strategy for the next five years, a period of great challenge as well as great opportunity for the African continent. The document outlines the vision of the bank towards attracting talent with passion to ‘the best place to be’ for the development of Africa. It points to the African Development Bank as the place for realization of the full potential of its people, and defines a new level of engagement with its staff through the Employee Value Proposition.
“The strategy was developed on the basis of feedback received through extensive and wide-ranging consultations with stakeholders across the bank, with the overall objective of supporting the delivery of development outcomes and impact for the continent. We remain focused on its full and rapid implementation to propel the institution to become a higher-performing organization to support the bank’s mission.”
