The Ecobank Foundation has been re-launched with a new vision and strategy.
The Ecobank Foundation has been re-launched with a new strategy and focus in line with its mission of enabling prosperity across Africa. The re-launch took place at the breakfast workshop, ‘Changing Africa: Enabling prosperity through the private sector’ on the side-lines of the Global Fund’s Replenishment Conference.
Ade Ayeyemi, Ecobank Group Chief Executive Officer said, “Ecobank is committed to financial inclusion to extend financial services to Africa’s low-income segments, including the unbanked. We are re-launching the Ecobank Foundation to accelerate efforts to enable growth across all of Africa.”
The Ecobank Foundation aims to become the go-to partner for organisations interested in the transformation of Africa. Health, education and financial inclusion are the three key areas at the core of the new vision. The Foundation focuses its support particularly on the communities Ecobank serves.
Julie Essiam, the Ecobank Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer said, “The African private sector is the continent’s engine of growth. The Foundation will leverage Ecobank’s considerable strengths and resources as a financial institution to empower and improve the lives of Africans now and in the future.”
