Benin signed an agreement with the African Development Fund - the Bank Group's concessional window - for a partial credit guarantee of Ꞓ195 million, enabling the country to raise several million euros on the international financial market. The resources mobilized will finance critical projects in the country's priority development sectors: agriculture and agro-industry, water and sanitation, health, decent and affordable housing, education, and renewable energy.
