Kenya is this week again playing host to a key summit that brings together various heads of state from the continent.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) annual general meetings being held at the KICC from May 27-31 also bring together governors of central banks from African countries, policymakers and other delegates.
This year's theme is “Africa’s Transformation: the African Development Bank, and the Reform of the Global Financial Architecture".
The theme is set against the realisation that despite sustained economic growth over the past two decades, Africa’s economic transformation remains a work in progress with a lot more to be done.
