How it started
What happened
The African Development Bank Group and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency signed a strategic partnership in Abidjan to expand cooperation in areas such as food systems, job creation, and private sector growth across Africa.

Why it matters
The new partnership aims to leverage the African Development Bank Group's financing and regional reach alongside Brazil's experience in tropical agriculture and renewable energy. The call for greater African ownership of mineral wealth seeks to ensure that mineral-rich countries derive greater economic value from their natural assets.
