Rationale

National Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), or also known as development banks play a crucial role in the development of a progressive and inclusive financial sector which entails preserving the core foundations of mandate given at all times, ensuring effective and efficient specialized financial services in their respective areas, and contributing towards economic growth and development of a country. In this regard, the Forum will cover: a) how mandated role of DFIs could be enhanced not only to achieve economic growth but to achieve strategic development and social goals of the nation and (b) how these DFIs have evolved over times to complement banking institutions which will continue to provide financial services to these sectors.

Forum Structure

The conference is organized in a way that will allow delegates to learn from each others’ experiences through speaker presentations of best practices and challenges on the theme and through personal interaction among delegates and speakers and among delegates themselves.

Panel speakers for each session will take turns to share the experiences of their respective institutions and countries. Each session will be facilitated by a Session Chair who will introduce the session and the panelists, and to be capped by a Q&A. Speakers will be sourced from among the attending members’ delegates, from ADFIAP international partners and contacts as well as from recommendations received.
