World Bank to invest $5 bln in 11 African countries

THE World Bank says it would invest over $5 billion over the next five years to help restore degraded landscapes, improve agriculture productivity, and promote livelihoods in 11 African countries as they recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

World Bank Group President David Malpass said the investment would help improve livelihoods as those countries recovered from COVID-19 and dealt with the impact of biodiversity loss and climate change.

The funds would benefit countries in the Sahel region, Lake Chad and Horn of Africa, the Bank said in a statement.
