GILFI provides an opportunity to be part of a global community of financial industry leaders laying the foundation for creating a new world of banking and finance. The program will enable members of the Association of African Development Finance Institutions to visualize the desired state of their institutions, formulate policy responses to changing market dynamics, and set a powerful strategic direction of their organizations. It will help the delegates in navigating through the evolving risk landscape in times when the financial industry is undergoing historic transformation and the world is confronted with dramatic geopolitical and geoeconomic developments.

The issue of funds mobilization; changing preferences of depositors, retail and institutional investors, and domestic and multilateral lenders; and 21^st century compatible lending and investing will also come under the spotlight. 

This impact leadership program is open to Presidents/CEOs and C-Level Executives, Board Members and Senior Sustainability Executives of financial institutions. In addition, officers expected to take key leadership positions in their institutions within the next two years also qualify to join the program, which leads to the award of Executive Certificate in Global Impact Leadership in Financial Industry to participating delegates.
