By Kavitha
In a strategic move to bolster the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and advance green energy initiatives in West Africa, the OPEC Fund for International Development (OPEC Fund) has recently inked a significant €50 million loan agreement with the West African Development Bank (BOAD).
Under this agreement, sub-loans will be extended across member countries of the West African Monetary Union (WAMU) – including Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo – through various financial institutions.
