    Introduction:

    The Centre Africain d’Etudes Supérieures en Gestion (CESAG) was established in 1985 and taken over in 1995 by the Banque Centrale des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (BCEAO) on behalf of the Union Monétaire Ouest Africaine/West African Economic and Monetary Union(UEMOA/WAEMU) to undertake training, research and consulting in management as means to achieve regional integration in West Africa.

    Project Description:

    The Banking and Finance Master’s Degree Program at the Centre Africain d’Etudes Supérieures en Gestion (CESAG) was approved by the Executive board of ACBF in November 2000 (Phase I) and in May 2006 (Phase II) with the overall goal to improve the macroeconomic environment of countries of the Economic and Monetary Union of West Africa (UEMOA) in particular and other African countries in general through the training of a pool of highly competent professionals that meet international standards in the areas of corporate banking and finance. The development goal of CESAG-MBF Phase III is to improve financial management and accountability of African countries in the areas of corporate banking, risk management and capital markets. The immediate objectives of CESAG’s MBF Project (Phase III) are to:

    (i) Maintain the sustainability of the Masters’ Degree in Corporate Business and Finance (MBF) within CESAG;

    (ii) Increase the skills of middle and high-level African professionals in banking and financial management; and

    (iii) Improve the visibility of Masters’ degree in Corporate Business and Finance in networking with relevant professional associations, training institutions and corporations.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.
