Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE)
The Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE) is a unique platform designed to expand the flow of ideas between thinkers, practitioners and policy-makers within the field of international development.
Every year the ABCDE brings together academics, politicians, representatives of civil society organizations, students and journalists from all over the world. The conference has been closely linked with the international agenda, offering a platform for the exchange of ideas on the G8 Summit, the European Union Presidency and other global events. Throughout the years, the ABCDE has brought prominent world figures into dialogue with researchers, students and NGO leaders.
