Farouk Mollah Banna Appointed World Bank’s Top Official in Chad

(Togo First) - The World Bank has appointed Togolese national Farouk Mollah Banna as its new Resident Representative in Chad.

Banna will manage a $2.7 billion portfolio for the World Bank in Chad, overseeing projects in agriculture, energy, education, digital transformation, and social protection.

He brings global experience to the job. Banna has worked across Asia, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Most recently, he coordinated sustainable development programs in the Central Sahel from Bamako, a role that already gave him hands-on experience in Chad.

Banna trained as an engineer at the University of Lomé and earned an advanced degree from the University of North Carolina in the United States. He holds both Togolese and American citizenship. He brings more than 23 years of professional experience, including over ten years with the World Bank.
