We have 477 million Africans, young people below the age of 35, from 15 to 35. We have to make sure that we are able to build climate resilience for Africa. We also have to make sure that we make the young people part of the solution, not just people that are dependent on others. And that&#8217;s why at the African Development Bank, we have a program that supports young people to set up businesses on climate adaptation, climate mitigation. We provided financing to be able to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Nigerian will end his second 5-year term in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Another key issue this year was a capital increase.<\/p>\n<p>The AfBD&#8217;s highest decision-making organ urged its governors to \u201cdeepen discussions\u201d on growing the Bank\u2019s callable capital, a key condition for maintaining its triple-A rating.<\/p>\n<p>The rating is a prerequisite for borrowing on the financial markets.<\/p>\n<p>The call was echoed by Kenyan president William Ruto.
