AFI’s capacity building events are designed to support AFI member institutions to gain and translate knowledge about financial inclusion policy, regulation and supervision into concrete actions that meet specific goals.
What makes our events unique is their focus on peer learning. Participants share knowledge and experience, as well as drawing on the technical expertise of AFI’s private sector partners and a wide range of external stakeholders.
AFI offers about 20 capacity-building events each year, designed to meet a wide range of learning needs. These are listed in our Events Calendar.
“AFI’s Capacity Building programme has really benefited the bank. Exposure to ideas from other countries has helped us to design policies around inclusion, climate change, gender and more, and has really shaped the way we do things.”
Stephen Armah, Head of Sustainability, Bank of Ghana
