The West African Development Bank positions the BOAD DEVELOPMENT DAYS within a collective dynamic of strategic reflection and innovation in support of the Union’s development.
This second edition focuses on a key priority: “Building the Future of the WAEMU: Financing Sustainable, Inclusive Housing as a Driver of Energy Sovereignty.”

This theme reflects our conviction that the region’s future depends on infrastructures capable of improving living conditions, reducing vulnerabilities, and supporting the energy transition. Building resilient cities has become an essential priority, heightened by demographic growth, rapid urbanization, and the impacts of climate change.

One of our commitments—supporting sustainable housing and energy projects that transform territories over the long term—directly responds to this reality. To achieve this, we will continue to promote modern, accessible, and environmentally friendly infrastructure through the mobilization of diversified financing.

May this edition strengthen the momentum in favor of structuring projects that meet the need for sustainable housing and provide clean, accessible energy for our territories and their inhabitants.

About BOAD Development Days

In line with its role as a hub of expertise and solutions for the development of the Union, the West African Development Bank now positions the BOAD Development Days as a major annual gathering dedicated to strategic reflection, innovation, and the exchange of experiences in support of its Member States.

The BOAD Development Days thus serve as a high‑level think space, bringing together regional and international experts to inform key investment decisions in sustainable housing, renewable energy, and modern infrastructure. They contribute to shaping the Bank’s vision in favor of structuring, accessible, environmentally responsible projects that drive lasting transformation across territories.

Through this event, BOAD reaffirms its commitment to mobilizing diversified financing to support initiatives that strengthen energy sovereignty, foster inclusive housing, and sustainably improve the quality of life of populations. The BOAD Development Days therefore become a privileged platform for dialogue and strategic guidance, aimed at collectively building the next chapter of the region’s development.
