The Eminent Speakers Series has opened a new chapter in the Bank's endeavor to become a knowledge center, with the capacity to propose solutions to Africa's problems, based, inter alia, on documented experiences of those who know the continent and believe that its development is possible and achievable sooner rather than later.
The program is a part of a newly designed framework to enhance the Bank's visibility as a knowledge institution. It is designed as a platform on which African leaders and world renowned persons Africans and non-Africans can share their views on daunting development challenges facing the continent. While providing opportunities for Bank staff to interact with distinguished thought leaders and exchange ideas on how the continent's development agenda can be achieved in the near term, eminent personalities can set out, through the program, their visions for posterity; visions that may inspire current and future African leaders.
