Project Description

This is a Banking Advisory Services project in Sub-Sahara Africa designed to enhance the Risk Management capacity for Financial Institutions through knowledge management and awareness raising webinars, diagnostics and competency assessments and customized in-depth advisory. The webinars will include participants from the broader financial sector and will provide knowledge and increased awareness on several topics related to risk management, including stress testing, business continuity, capital management. They will also include a strong emphasis on simple practical guidelines which Financial Institutions can use to develop their own internal frameworks where possible. The diagnostics and competency assessment of Financial Institutions will assess their competencies in risk management, identify key gaps and develop strategies to strengthen their risk management frameworks with a focus on stress testing, capital and NPL management.
