About the Program

43rd ADFIAP Annual Meeting (Virtual)

October 28-29, 2020

Theme: “DFIs and the Pandemic: Situationer and Way Forward”

Rationale:

The coronavirus pandemic has caused loss of life, health risks, financial woes, economic downturn, and disruption on the way people and organizations go about their life and business.

In this dire environment, development finance institutions (DFIs) are again called upon by their government-owners to do their part in mitigating the lingering effects of this pandemic and to provide long-lasting solutions going forward.

Against this backdrop, the days of ‘business as usual’ are over and a “new normal” is emerging. DFIs must therefore innovate to deliver services that matter most to their constituencies. They must innovate to pursue clarity of purpose, to optimize board and governance systems and structures, to improve on internal culture and efficiency, to enhance financial stability and influence, and to accelerate progress and focus on sustainability into the future.

It is in this context that this year’s annual meeting aims for the participants to: (a) share and learn from each other their current practices, challenges and ideas on the matter and (b) provide their thoughts and perspectives on the way forward in DFI mandate and operation.
