The World Bank Group - IMF / African Society

The World Bank Group-IMF African Society is an association of Africans and friends of Africa, comprised of the staff of the World Bank Group (WBG) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Created more than four decades ago, the Society’s dual purpose is to provide support to staff of African descent and to give something back to Africa. The Society’s 1,500 members include African staff that work in various country offices of the two organizations around the world, and constitute one of the highest concentrations of African professionals in any single body in the world. Besides excellent technical expertise, Africans in the World Bank and the IMF possess diverse, yet unique talents and socio-cultural credentials that enhance the relevance and quality of the two institutions’ contribution to global development work. Our Society is governed by three principal organs: the Executive Committee, the Council of Advisers, meeting quarterly (or as needed), and the General Assembly, which meets once a year
