How can Africa unlock more domestic resources to drive development while ensuring transparency, accountability, and long-term impact?
Join the Independent Development Evaluation (IDEV) function of the African Development Bank Group for a compelling side event at the 2025 Annual Meetings. The event will spotlight evidence-based insights on financial governance reform, drawing from recent independent evaluations, including:
- A 10 percent increase in domestic revenues achieved through public finance reforms in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Lessons from a synthesis evaluation of Public Financial Management interventions.
- Evaluative insights that shaped the Bank's new 10-year Public-Private Partnership strategy.
This session will explore what works -- and what doesn't -- when it comes to designing and implementing financial reforms that deliver results.
Expect a thought-provoking panel featuring leaders from African governments, civil society, the private sector, and development partners. Together, they will discuss how evaluation evidence can guide smarter financial strategies, strengthen institutions, and pave the way for inclusive, sustainable growth across the continent.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect evidence with action.
