Capacity Building

"PARTICIPATING IN THE SUSTAINABILITY LEARNING PROGRAM WAS A VALUABLE EXPERIENCE TO SEE WHAT IFC'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ARE ON SUSTAINABILITY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I REALLY SAW WHAT AN IMPORTANT PART SUSTAINABILITY PLAYS IN IFC'S CORPORATE STRATEGY AND HOW IT CAN SUPPORT MY COMPANY'S OWN GOALS."
— Enrique Canas, Executive Director, Banco Uno, El Salvador

Our workshops are designed to help regions and markets use sustainability to expand and strengthen their financial institutions. By focusing on key business drivers for sustainability, participants discover opportunities to access new markets and broaden product offerings, while learning the skills to integrate sustainable finance practices into their strategy and operations.

Practical exercises and case studies are used to highlight specific ways that IFC can build local capacity to identify social and environmental risks and opportunities. By involving clients directly in the learning process, we have been able to design innovative social and environmental solutions and add value for clients, shareholders, and stakeholders in the regions.
