What happened
The Presidents of the Islamic Development Bank Group and the African Development Bank Group met in Jeddah to discuss joint financing for African projects. They reviewed the 2024-2029 Cooperation Framework, which sets a co-financing target of US$4 billion for sovereign and non-sovereign operations in 27 African member-countries. Currently, approved operations total US$2.65 billion, which accounts for 66 percent of the target.

Why it matters
The institutions aim to increase co-financing and mobilize public and private capital to support development in member countries. This effort builds on a Joint Declaration made in January 2026 between the African Development Bank Group and the Arab Coordination Group.
