BOAD has been serving the development of WAEMU member countries for 50 years.

Fifty years of dedication, commitment and collaboration with our member states, partners and stakeholders have helped forge our identity as a strong and visionary regional financial institution. Over this period, we have supported innovative projects, promoted economic growth and worked to improve living conditions for the people of West Africa.

This historic milestone is an opportunity to pay tribute to all those who have contributed to our success, from our directors and employees to our valued partners and the people we serve. Together, we have built bridges to a more prosperous future, implementing initiatives to combat poverty, strengthen infrastructure and promote sustainable development.
