The AfDB's E-Consultation on its Private Sector Development Policy-Have your Say!

The African Development Bank Group is developing its Private Sector Development Policy (PSD) and revising its PSD strategy. As part of the preparation process, the Bank Group deems it important to consult external stakeholders, including governments, citizens, the private sector actors, representatives of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and multilateral and bilateral development agencies to obtain their inputs and feedbacks. The purpose of the online posting of the draft PSD policy and Strategy is to request all stakeholders to provide their views and perspectives on the above key policy and strategy documents. The online posting is one means among others to obtain external stakeholders view on the Bank Group policy documents.

Your views and feedback will help us sharpen the strategic focus of the Bank group support, and increase its effectiveness, in private sector development and inclusive growth.
