Senior Advisor to the Canadian Executive Director at the African Development Bank

The Senior Advisor provides policy advice and support to Canada’s Executive Director at the African Development Bank. This includes the analysis of grant and loan proposals as well as of major institutional policy strategy and financial management documents submitted to the Board of Directors of the Bank for approval. The Senior Advisor liaises with Bank staff on behalf of the Government of Canada including the monitoring of specific programs funded over and above Canada’s core support to the Bank. Finally the Senior Advisor attends meetings on behalf of the Executive Director.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (i) Oversight of Canadian trust funds at the African Development Bank is increased; (ii) Strengthened capacity to facilitate opportunities for the Canadian Private Sector to engage with the African Development Bank; (iii) Cooperation between Canada (DFATD and other Canadian organizations and agencies) and the African Development Bank is increased; (iv) Visibility and recognition of DFATD’s contributions to the African Development Bank is increased.
