BAM-AFI Virtual Member Training on Inclusive Green Finance – From Concept to Practice

Bank Al-Maghrib (BAM) and AFI are organizing the BAM-AFI Virtual Member Training on Inclusive Green Finance (IGF) – from Concept to Practice on 14-17 June 2021.

Member training will be anchored on the recent knowledge product of AFI, Promoting IGF Initiative and Policies and will also draw content from, Greening the Financial Sector Through Provision Policies: The Role of Central Banks. These publications examine how financial regulators are involved in efforts to promote inclusive green finance at the national level and how to prepare the private sector to offer financial services to qualified beneficiaries for inclusive green finance.

As the members make progress in developing IGF regulations, this Virtual Member Training takes a leap forward after the several introductory IGF trainings.  At the end of the training, participants will be able to identify the key criteria to be considered while promoting and developing IGF policies in their jurisdictions. To achieve this, the participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate the importance of promotion policies to start the journey on IGF and formulate concrete steps for a national level action plan.
• Explain the importance of IGF data collection and participate in peer sharing to learn from best practice examples of demand-side surveys structures that are contextualized at country-level for relevance.
• Analyse the risks linked to climate change impacts and relate how financial inclusion can address some of these.
• Formulate an action plan to integrate gender sensitive inclusive green finance considerations into National Financial Inclusion Strategies.

The training is intended for senior officials from AFI member institutions are currently working on IGF related policies or initiatives and have a good understanding on the basic concepts of IGF. The training will follow AFI’s model of peer learning and will be led by technical experts from the AFI network, BAM and AFI Management Unit.
