The Direct Aid took part in the annual “Caucus Africa 2025” meeting held in Bangui, following an official invitation from the government of the Central African Republic in recognition of the association’s impactful humanitarian and development work in the country.
This invitation came after the signing of the Headquarters Agreement between Direct Aid Association and the Central African Republic government, which granted the association formal legal status and recognized it as a trusted and active development partner.
This inaugural meeting of Caucus Africa brings together African Governors to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to discuss pressing economic and developmental challenges facing the continent and to foster stronger collaboration between African nations and international financial institutions.
The event, launched on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, convened over 400 participants from 57 African countries, representing government bodies, private sector actors, and development organizations.
On the sidelines of the meeting, Direct Aid showcased its key programs and projects in the Central African Republic, highlighting the positive impact on local communities, particularly in education, healthcare, and water sectors. The association also leveraged the opportunity to forge new partnerships with donors and development stakeholders aimed at expanding its reach and enhancing the sustainability of its initiatives across the region.
