AADFI organized a series of benchmarking/study visits to strengthen knowledge exchange among its members. Highlights included visits by participants of the Advanced Level of the AADFI Professional Certificate Program (PCP) in Development Finance to the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA). The visits were part of the Development Finance program’s session held from September 22 to 26, 2025.
Furthermore, a peer learning visit was organised for the Microfinance Support Centre (MSC) of Uganda to the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) on September 29. These engagements provided practical insights into the strategy, governance, sustainability, business model, and financing framework of the institutions visited, which reinforced AADFI’s commitment to peer learning in developing capacity in its members.
