The relationship between the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) is defined by a strategic partnership aimed at catalyzing environmental sustainability and climate resilience across the African continent. Established as a financial mechanism to address global environmental challenges, the GEF functions as a multilateral trust fund, while the AfDB acts as a premier development finance institution for Africa. Since the AfDB became an accredited GEF implementing agency in 2007, the two organizations have collaborated to integrate environmental safeguards and climate adaptation strategies into large-scale infrastructure and development projects.
