To help unlock economic growth, the African Development Bank (AfDB) is coordinating the implementation of an integrated development strategy for Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In preparation for the rollout of this initiative, the Bank and the Government of Portugal have signed an agreement to provide language training to African Development Bank staff interested in learning Portuguese, as well as professional conference translation services.<\/p>\n

The language-learning cooperation agreement, signed by the Institute for Cooperation and the Portuguese Language (Cam\u00f5es \u2013 Instituto da Coopera\u00e7\u00e3o e da L\u00edngua, I.P.) and the Bank at the African Development Bank headquarters in Abidjan, also provides conditions for the translation and dissemination of the Bank\u2019s standard project procurement and financial management documents into Portuguese.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lusophone countries are not one contiguous group. What we are talking about here has a cultural, linguistic, political and economic perspective. I believe Portugal will play a key role in bringing about greater integration,\u201d Bank President Akinwumi Adesina told the visiting Portuguese delegation led by Teresa Ribeiro, Portugal\u2019s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Bank, we are committed to this. We are also delighted about the Portuguese training agreement we have signed,\u201d Adesina said.<\/p>\n

Teresa Ribeiro commended President Adesina for his vision and the Bank\u2019s support to Lusophone countries. She welcomed the possibility of a compact that could respond to challenges facing the Portuguese-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we want to achieve with the African Development Bank is a very ambitious programme that responds to critical issues. The countries need the compact to enable investors,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As part of the Bank\u2019s catalytic role, it is relying on the historical, cultural and language bonds that unite Africa\u2019s Portuguese-speaking countries with Portugal and Brazil, to help stimulate greater economic ties, private-sector business growth and trade opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Bank is planning to have a special session for Lusophone investors at the inaugural Africa Investment Forum, scheduled for November 7-9, 2018 in Johannesburg, South Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
