Resource Summary

Launched in October 2024, the Sustainable Finance Knowledge Centre for Francophone Africa offers a virtual platform to equip companies and financial institutions across Francophone Africa with the knowledge and skills necessary to accelerate the transition toward sustainable finance and business models. The platform is available in both English and French. The Centre aims to transform sustainability aspirations into effective climate action. It aims to provide regional market players across sectors and industries with the fundamentals to understand and manage sustainability risks and opportunities as part of operational decisions. Responding to the strong need for upskilling among French-speaking business leaders in Francophone Africa, the Centre’s curricula will be delivered primarily in French. The platform hopes to fill the sustainable finance knowledge gap that hinders the region’s sustainable growth, impacting its fight against climate change and adaptation to its consequences.
