    • Session 2: Panel Discussion: DFIs Strategic Management System – Making Sustainability Work

      There are many different frameworks and methodologies for strategic planning and management. While there are no absolute rules regarding the right framework, some organizations follow a similar pattern and challenges. For DFIs, the main challenge is how to embed sustainability in their strategy and management processes. In particular, the session will explore (1) How does a sustainable DFI create the conditions that embed sustainability in the organization’s strategy and operations? And (2) What are the specific elements of sustainable DFIs that differentiate them from those of traditional DFIs?

      The attainment of having a green economy is substantially improved by innovations in renewable energy. As a direct result of renewables beginning to account for even larger portions of energy being produced, the world is on its way towards fulfilling two of the three criteria required for a green economy: a low carbon footprint and the efficient use of natural resources. Clean energy, in its role as an enabler of economic growth and development, will serve as a catalyst for the third aspect: employment and social inclusion. In this session, DFIs will present case studies on their renewable energy programs and how they financed these projects.

        The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal on Water (SDG 6) and its related targets as well as the SDGs that are linked to water such as climate change, health, hunger, energy and others, are relevant to the greening of the economy, in general. To a large extent, the primary concerns have always been the utilization and improvement of existing water resources, together with protection against the hazards and potential harm associated with uncontrolled natural water as well as its production and treatment. Recent innovation and technological change offer opportunities not just for improving the planning and design of sustainable and effective water management projects but also in its financing. In this session, DFIs will present case studies on projects that they have financed.
