Course description

Serving board members (Board Chairs, Vice Board Chairs, Committee Chairs and ordinary members) of development finance institutions or similar financial institutions. Preferably, with 2-3 years’ experience in any other board. Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree.

The purpose of this training is to enhance the understanding of the concept and relevance of good corporate governance in the context of Development Finance Institutions and their challenges in Africa, and to strengthen the skills of board members by equipping them with the knowledge of functions, critical skills and role of a director on a board in a development finance institution. This workshop goes beyond generic issues of corporate governance and deals with issues and challenges germane to development finance and related financial institutions, such as strategy management, risk management and key performance indicators.
