The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) (www.AfDB.org) has wrapped up a four-day workshop in Kinshasa aimed at strengthening project management and boosting the performance of Bank-financed operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The training, held from 8 to 11 September 2025, was organised by the African Development Institute and the Bank’s fiduciary departments in collaboration with the Country Office. Opening the workshop, Mohamed Coulibaly, the Bank’s Acting Country Manager in the DRC, emphasised that the programme would enhance accountability, transparency, and project effectiveness by transferring knowledge of the Bank’s rules, procedures, and best practices. Participants engaged in hands-on sessions covering financial management, procurement, monitoring and evaluation, and results-based management.
