ADFIAP, together with the Washington, D.C.-based Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) will be holding a regional seminar-workshop on “Strengthening Governance & Sustainability in DFIs” on February 12-16 in Manila, Philippines. The event is part of the Association’s “DFIs for Corporate Governance” project in response to the growing need of its members for the implementation of good corporate governance policies and practices in their respective institutions by learning from experiences of co-members as well as from those in other parts of the world.
The Manila event, which is the fourth phase of the project, aims to further strengthen governance practices in member-DFIs by linking these to the sustainable development mission of DFIs. ADFIAP believes that sustainable development cannot be attained without good governance. The activities in this phase include a research study to develop a corporate governance-sustainable framework, one regional program (this Manila event) and four national training events (tentatively, in Malaysia, India, Vietnam and Fiji). A training pack will also be published for use of ADFIAP members and other participating financial institutions.
