Capacity Building Programmes

Strengthening Development Finance Professionals Across Southern Africa

The overall approach under this programme is to develop on-the-job capacity building interventions and other training programmes directed at institutional effectiveness and enhancement of the skills base of the DFI Network members. To this end, the DFRC uses secondment’s, technical assistance, workshops and seminars, placements on external training programmes, and other ad hoc interventions.

Through these interventions, the DFRC supports the strategic and organisational processes and systems of the DFIs, as well as develop and enhance skills of their staff in core functional areas. Ultimately, the aim of the capacity building programme is to achieve institutional strengthening and operational effectiveness of the DFIs, while supporting financial sector strengthening and reform in the SADC region.

Most of these programmes will focus on areas related to Infrastructure, Industrial, Agriculture and Public-Private Partnerships as well as Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Development.
