In order to sharply focus the objectives of the Ten-Year Strategy (2023-2032) and achieve greater development impact, the Bank has defined five priority areas (High 5s) for its interventions in Africa to be scaled up in order to accelerate results: energy, agro-industry, industrialization, integration and improving the quality of life for the people of Africa.
