Abstract: Abstract The African Development Bank (AfDB) came into existence on September 10, 1964, founded as part of the pan-African movement at the beginning of decolonization in the mid-twentieth century. Initially headquartered in Khartoum, Sudan, the AfDB was created to “contribute to the development and unity of Africa.” The African Development Bank Group consists of (1) the AfDB; (2) the African Development Fund (ADF); and (3) the Nigeria Trust Fund (NTF). The AfDB is owned and overseen by its 79 members (Luxembourg became the seventy-ninth member in May 2014). As of May 31, 2013, there were 53 regional members 1 that held 59.712 percent of the voting power and 26 non-regional members. 2
