Project Description

The objective of this program is to develop and adapt corporate governance advocacy and capacity-building tools to help country projects implement good corporate governance practices more effectively in line with IFC’s strategy in this area. Based on existing market gaps, the program will address board leadership, risk management, codes and scorecards, sustainable institution building, corporate governance dispute resolution, and corporate governance media reporting. The program plans to roll out the following activities: 1) develop, translate, and tailor capacity-building tools for banks and companies, including medium enterprises; 2) train local staff and consultants to use these tools in country-based advisory projects; and 3) raise awareness globally by making the tools available as public goods through IFC’s Web platforms and disseminating them through various events and conferences to encourage their use by local and international partners.
