AfDB commits to partner Gombe govt on development drive

The Africa Development Bank (AfDB) has recently committed to partnering with the government of Gombe state in Nigeria to support its development drive. This partnership is particularly focused on the Special Agro Processing Zone (SAPZ) and the Inclusive Service Delivery and Livelihood Empowerment Integrated Project (ISDLEIP).

The SAPZ is a project aimed at promoting agro-processing and value addition in the state, with the goal of increasing revenue for farmers and creating employment opportunities. The AfDB has pledged to support this project by providing technical assistance and financing to help it succeed.

The ISDLEIP, on the other hand, is a project aimed at improving service delivery and empowering local communities through livelihood development. The AfDB has committed to supporting this project by providing funding and technical assistance to help it achieve its goals.

In addition to these specific projects, the AfDB has also expressed its commitment to working closely with the Gombe state government to support its overall development agenda. This includes providing policy advice, technical assistance, and financing to help the state achieve its economic and social goals.

Overall, the partnership between the AfDB and the Gombe state government is expected to have a significant impact on the state's development, particularly in the areas of agriculture, infrastructure, and service delivery.
