Creating Leaders in development management

11 Jan, 2018

With ACBF’s support, the West African Institute for Economic and Financial Management (WAIFEM) has trained over 17,000 senior officials in the areas of debt, finance and macroeconomic management.

Prof Akpan Ekpo – DG of WAIFEM affirms "ACBF has assisted us to be proactive and to be abreast with the tools used by multilateral institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank in dealing with our economies” and thinks African Central Banks should use their important role in African economies to mobilize support for ACBF to continue helping the continent to produce development results.

ACBF has been granted the status of a specialized agency because of the potential to transform Africa through capacity development.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

H.E. Erastus Mwencha, Chair, ACBF Executive Board

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Mr. Lamin Momodou MANNEH, Director, UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Hon. Goodall Gondwe, former Chair of the ACBF Board of Governors and Minister of Finance – Malawi

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.

Hon Ken Ofori Atta, Chair of the ACBF Board of Governors and Minister of Finance - Ghana
