Join the Call to Secure the African Development Fund
The ONE Campaign is calling for bold, immediate action. At the heart of this year’s conversation is ADF-17, the latest replenishment of the African Development Fund (ADF), a lifeline for low-income countries across the continent. For decades, ADF has powered progress, with nearly $60 billion invested to date. Now, as the continent faces overlapping crises, from debt to climate shocks, ADF-17 is Africa's chance to accelerate and scale what works.
But right now, the Fund is at risk. Donors have yet to make strong enough commitments, and without them, millions could be left behind.
Add your name to our open letter asking world leaders to act now.
Dear Leaders,
The African Development Fund (ADF) is one of the most effective tools we have to support low-income and fragile countries across Africa. For over 50 years, it has helped build schools, deliver healthcare, expand clean energy, and strengthen communities against climate shocks. As the world faces rising inequality, conflict, and economic uncertainty, the ADF is more critical than ever, and yet, it remains underfunded.
This year’s ADF replenishment is a defining moment. We urge you, global leaders, partners, and donors, to step up with bold and timely pledges.
Investing in the ADF is not charity. It is a smart, strategic commitment to peace, progress, and shared prosperity. Let’s give African countries the resources to lead, build, and thrive.
