The African Development Bank Group and the Republic of South Sudan have a history of cooperation, which started after the signing on 9th January 2005 of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, brokered by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). South Sudan became a member of the African Development Bank in May 2012, and in September 2013 ratified its membership. Following the country’s independence in July 2011, the Bank opened its country office in the capital, Juba, in September 2012.
