In May 2015, members of the African Development Bank (AfDB) will elect a new President. This is a critical time to select an individual who can build on the gains made through Africa’s rise over the past decade.
South Africa has taken a decision not to nominate a candidate for this position. The process of selecting a candidate within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is currently under way and South Africa will act in accordance with the collective decision of the region.
