Corporate Governance and Mandate Oversight for Development & Financial Institutions

Effective **Corporate Governance** is paramount for Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and specialized financial entities, as they must balance financial sustainability with a complex public service or development mandate. This course provides a specialized framework for designing, implementing, and overseeing governance structures that ensure this delicate balance is maintained. Participants will learn how to structure Board committees (e.g., Development Impact Committee, Risk Committee), manage conflicts of interest, and establish accountability mechanisms. The program emphasizes the role of governance in ensuring the DFI's strategy remains aligned with its mandate and that decisions are prudent, transparent, and ethically sound.
