What is the Economic Development Assembly?

The Economic Development Assembly in Abidjan, presented by Global Citizen and Bridgewater Associates, is a two-day event that will bring together Heads of State, public and private sector leaders, and the civil society to drive financial investments to end extreme poverty across the African continent.

Why is this important?

We urgently need G20 countries to increase their support for the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) replenishment. IDA aims to support social and economic development for more than 1.5 billion people. This includes lifting 250 million people out of energy poverty by 2030, while also addressing malnutrition for more than 40 million women and children per year and promoting domestic resource mobilization.

Current Partners

Global Citizen has secured CEOs and global business leaders to join the alliance including Company 1, Company 2, Company 3, Company 4, Company 5, Company 6, Company 7, and Company 8.

How will the Summit achieve this?

The October Summit will drive a clear investment case as to why the world’s biggest economies should provide an additional $5-6 billion annually for the IDA21 replenishment in late 2024.
