African Development Bank’s 'Great Managers' Management Clinics
Description of project
Aninver Development Partners supported the African Development Bank (AfDB) by designing and delivering the 'Great Managers' Management Clinics, aimed at enhancing the Bank’s managerial and supervisory capacity. The project aligned with AfDB’s People Strategy (2021–2025) and the broader goal of fostering a high-performing, knowledge-driven, and innovative institution.
The clinics sought to strengthen leadership skills among Bank managers, identify managerial gaps, validate future training needs, and promote integration of learnings into broader human resources initiatives. The project was implemented over six months and was conducted remotely, in both English and French, across the Bank’s diverse multicultural environment.
