WFDFI  -  Action Program

 

  1. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

The WFDFI will encourage the execution and broadening of the collaboration and reciprocal assistance agreements that already exist among regional associations in order to help strengthen those associations and its own national member institutions. In that connection, the World Federation will cover areas like the following:

  1. Events

  • It will sponsor events organized by the regional associations of development banks that do not entail any financial obligations for the WFDFI (at least one event per region per year); and

  • It will encourage each regional association to invite the others to participate, insofar as possible, as speakers or by being represented at their Annual General Assemblies, and the respective member banks and institutions to be represented at seminars and technical events in other regions. 

  1.  Information Clearing House.

In order to expand Cooperation among Development Banks through WFDFI and the Regional Development Banking Associations, the establishment of a “WFDFI Information Clearing House” has already been proposed.

In this framework, development banks should assist each other with policy formulation, strategy development, restructuring, managerial and operational processes and other functions. An exchange of experiences and views on practices, policies, risks, organization, and institution-building could be systematically and periodically supported and facilitated by the World Federation and the regional associations.

Similarly, expert-groups and work-groups, as well as committees, can be organized and issues of common concern could be explored, studied, and acted upon, with the resulting conclusions to be disseminated  -- through the regional associations -- to all development banks for their benefit..

This WFDFI publication will be updated with the collaboration of the regional associations, for a future new edition. It will also be made available at the WFDFI web page.
