The African Development Bank (“the Bank”) is Africa’s premier multilateral development finance institution. Its mission is to contribute to the economic development and social progress of its regional member countries, mobilize resources for the financing of development projects, and promote economic integration on the African continent. 

The Bank has 54 African member countries and 28 non-regional member countries. It has established cooperation ties with an extensive network of international development partners and enjoys an excellent reputation on the capital markets. Since its inception in 1964, the Bank Group has committed over $100 billion to support more than 4,000 development projects and programs in Africa. Over the last 10 years, the Bank has grown in size and impact and modernized its operations to improve efficiency and value for money, which has put it at the center of Africa’s economic transformation. 

Today, the Bank is at the forefront of helping Africa achieve accelerated development, guided by its Four Cardinal Points strategic vision which focuses on mobilizing capital at scale, reforming Africa’s financial systems, harnessing the continent’s demographic dividend, and building resilient infrastructure while accelerating value addition.

To champion the wider cause of Africa’s socioeconomic development, alongside its own efforts to spur economic growth and job creation across the continent, the Bank produces public information on its website and social media platforms (project impact articles, press releases and web articles, interviews, op-eds, podcasts, video reports). This aims to increase institutional transparency and accountability to its shareholders, clients and other stakeholders (some 300 new projects a year, and as many ongoing); and to enhance the development effectiveness of Bank- financed programs and projects. 

The enormous amount of information generated by the Bank every day needs to be communicated clearly, concisely and with the audience in mind to produce the desired impact on the various target audiences of the Bank: donors, investors, policymakers, governments, the media, and the public at large. 

Within this context, the African Development Bank is looking to recruit a seasoned English- speaking communication consultant to help embed a journalistic style and approach in editorial content (press releases, web stories, feature stories, blogs, Op-Eds…) across the Bank’s channels.
