On September 20, 2017 the Executive Board of Directors of the ABR elected unanimously Mr. Samuel Dossou-Aworet as the new President of the Organisation.
This appointment is consistent with the pan African vision of Mr Dossou and reflects his own deep commitment to the strengthening of the cooperation amongst organisations, institutions and countries for a social and economic sustainable development of Africa.
Established in 1990 by the African Development Bank under the visionary leadership of the late Babacar Ndiaye, who was President of the Bank, the ABR was established to promote private sector growth and development in Africa by providing a platform for corporations, businessmen and women and institutions to associate under an umbrella organization. The ABR is dedicated to a Pan African vision providing solutions to issues of common interest.
