The African Development Bank’s Strategy for 2013 to 2022 seeks to promote high quality growth in Africa. The Strategy focuses on two overarching objectives to improve the quality of growth across the African continent: inclusive growth, and the transition to green growth. It has five priority pillars which are intended to frame the Bank’s country and regional integration strategies: improved infrastructure, governance, private sector development, skills and technology, and regional integration. And it has three areas of special emphasis: fragile states, agriculture and food security,and gender. Green growth contributes to all of these objectives. The purpose of this framework document is to provide Bank staff with a common foundation on the principles and practice of green growth by describing the rationale and approach and providing orientation on strategic entry points for action, methodologies, financing and monitoring progress. As such the framework is intended as living document, which serves as a first common reference source and is complemented by sector guidance notes and thematic publications.

This short publication brings together inspiring Stories of Change from Africa which aim to motivate governments, stakeholders, and the international development community to continue to work together to break down the silos between poverty and environment.
