The world convened in New York at the end of September for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 79). The African Development Bank Group president Akinwumi Adesina and his team were in New York to helm a major push to strengthen partnerships and generate more support and commitment from key stakeholders for Africa's development priorities.
Adesina's packed UNGA itinerary included a closed-door meeting with UN Secretary General António Guterres and other multilateral development banks (MDBs) presidents to discuss accelerating progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
He also addressed the "Summit of the Future" meeting of the General Assembly and joined World Bank president Ajay Banga for the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) Leadership Council meeting for the official backing of the ambitious "Mission 300" (M300) initiative to connect 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030.
