These priorities underpin EBID\u2019s <strong>Growth, Resilience and Optimisation (GRO) Strategy 2026\u20132030<\/strong>, which focuses on strategic investments, sustainability and regional integration.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Donkor noted that limited long-term financing, risk perceptions and a shortage of bankable projects continue to constrain development. He highlighted EBID\u2019s role in structuring viable projects, reducing investment risks and mobilising innovative financing to attract capital into high-impact opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>EBID has committed over <strong>USD 6 billion to more than 330 projects<\/strong> across its fifteen Member States, supporting infrastructure, energy, agriculture, industry, healthcare, education and financial services. The Bank also recognises investment in human capital and deeper regional integration as essential drivers of productivity, resilience and shared prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe West Africa of tomorrow will not be built through ambition alone. It will be built through strategic investments in people, infrastructure and regional integration. At EBID, we are committed to mobilising the capital, partnerships and innovative financing solutions needed to transform our region\u2019s immense potential into shared prosperity,\u201d<\/em> Dr Donkor stated.<\/p>\n<p>He called on governments, development partners, institutional investors, and the private sector to strengthen collaboration to finance the region\u2019s transformation, while reaffirming EBID\u2019s commitment to advancing sustainable growth and regional integration across West Africa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brussels, Belgium, 23 October 2026 \u2013 The President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID), Dr George Agyekum Donkor, has called for stronger regional development finance and greater mobilisation of public and private capital to accelerate West Africa\u2019s transformation.
