The West African Development Bank (BOAD) is proud to announce its official membership in the Global Alliance against hunger and poverty. This initiative, launched by the Presidency Brazilian member of the G20, aims to eradicate hunger and poverty (SDG 1 & 2) and to reduce inequalities (SDG 10) by supporting low-income countries.

By joining the 197 members of the Alliance, which already includes 102 countries, 29 international organizations, 14 financial institutions and 52 foundations, BOAD is committed to strengthening its actions in favor of food security in West Africa. This membership, validated in August 2025, will allow the Bank to benefit from international synergies and access to specialized support mechanisms to achieve its goals.

BOAD's membership is based on two major pillars of the Alliance: funding and knowledge sharing. On the Financing side, the Bank will share its financing objectives for projects focusing on food security in the subregion, thus contributing to the global effort. And on the Knowledge Sharing component, with more than 50 years of experience serving the populations of the Member States of UEMOA, the BOAD will contribute its expertise and know-how in the fight against food insecurity. In return, she will benefit from the experience of a vast network of partners committed to finding sustainable solutions to poverty and hunger in the world.

This strengthened collaboration will allow the BOAD to accelerate the implementation of high-impact programs, building on on the policy instruments and financial support mobilized by the Alliance.
