³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Audrey Brown, Host of Focus on Africa, speaks to Akinwumi Adesina, the President of the African Development Bank, as he reflects on the achievements and challenges of the past 10 years in office.

In his two terms he’s focused much of his time on advocacy, strategic positioning, and amplifying the continent’s voice on the global stage. We hear about his ‘High Fives’ framework, which includes getting power to the millions without electricity and improving the quality of life for African people.

He also tells us about his vision, the challenges facing the continent and how he draws on his faith and his personal experiences in his work.
