Publish What You Fund, the global campaign for aid and development transparency, has once named the African Development Bank’s sovereign portfolio as the most transparent.
The portfolio emerged first out of 50 global development institutions with a top score of 98.8 in its 2024 Aid Transparency Index.

The Bank’s sovereign portfolio climbed four places in the ranking in 2022 to top the Index. For a second time running, the result highlights the Bank’s continued effort and prioritization of good-quality data publication.
The Aid Transparency Index has tracked the transparency of the largest international aid organisations over the last 12 years.
About The Index
