In a significant move to promote sustainable finance and green growth, aBi Finance, headed by Mona Muguma Ssebuliba as the Chief Executive Officer, successfully conducted a nationwide Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) training series for Tier 4 financial institutions and media professionals across Uganda.
The training series, which was conducted in collaboration with the Uganda Institute of Banking and Financial Services (UIBFS), reached over 833 participants from 211 institutions, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to mainstream ESG principles into their organisational and public discourse.
The objective of the training was to empower financial institutions and media practitioners to become champions of inclusive green growth and sustainability.
Benefits for Uganda’s Economy
This initiative is beneficial for Uganda’s economy in several ways:
Promoting Sustainable Finance
The training series promotes sustainable finance practices, which are essential for Uganda’s economic growth and development. By adopting ESG principles, financial institutions can make informed decisions that balance economic, social, and environmental considerations.
Inclusive Green Growth
The training empowers financial institutions and media practitioners to become champions of inclusive green growth and sustainability. This will contribute to Uganda’s efforts to promote sustainable development and reduce poverty.
Resilient Financial Ecosystem
By equipping financial institutions with the knowledge and tools to manage ESG risks and opportunities, the training series will help shape a resilient, responsible, and future-ready financial ecosystem for Uganda.
Capacity Building
The training series builds the capacity of financial institutions and media professionals, enabling them to make informed decisions and promote sustainable development.
aBi Finance’s ESG training series is thus a significant step towards promoting sustainable finance and green growth in Uganda.
By empowering financial institutions and media practitioners with the knowledge and tools to mainstream ESG principles, the initiative will contribute to Uganda’s economic growth and development while promoting environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
This move is beneficial for Uganda’s economy, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the country’s financial sector and beyond.
