Webinar
Financial institutions in emerging economies require multi-dimensional support, both through investment capital and non-commercial instruments, such as grants and technical assistance, to innovate and sustainably scale products and services, to reach new and vulnerable clients, and to maximize their development impact.
The unique nature of financial institutions – and the systemic role they play in economies – influences how technical assistance and grant projects should be designed and delivered effectively.
This webinar, hosted by CGAP in partnership with CDC Group, will cover how to make these non-commercial instruments provided to financial institutions most effective. CDC Group commissioned Tandem to consolidate industry practice and develop guidance for funders and implementers. The recently published research report “Making the most effective use of grants and technical assistance to support financial institutions” will serve as the basis for discussion.
At the end of the webinar, participants will:
- Better understand the opportunities to effectively use technical assistance and grants to facilitate inclusive and sustainable business practice change within financial institutions at scale;
- Learn about the trends of using technical assistance and grants among donors and DFIs, and broader impact investors and understand emerging best practices and lessons learned; and
- Exchange with industry peers on opportunities and challenges of technical assistance and grants implementation in support of financial inclusion.
