The DFI Exchange Group is a space for DFI-related knowledge sharing and group activities of the ICR Facility, and will also provide the opportunity for DFIs to share and showcase their best practices and experiences with their peers.
The ICR Facility has taken note of the strong demand among different DFIs to connect and exchange with peers. We are excite to announce an Exchange Group for Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) states. The Exchange Group is a platform for all DFI-related knowledge sharing and group activities of the ICR Facility and provides DFIs with the opportunity to share and showcase their best practices and experiences with peers in three main ways.
Events that will be organised by the ICR Facility with the DFI Exchange Group include:
Once per quarter, we facilitate peer sessions where DFIs can come together to meet on a specific topic of their choice. Jointly with the ICR Facility and supported by a facilitator, DFIs can propose a topic, tool or issue to interactively exchange on with peers, and the ICR Facility will support with planning the content of the session, as well as logistical, communication and moderation assistance.
If you are interested in hosting a peer session, the first step is to contact the ICR Facility team. Together, we can discuss your topic of interest, how to structure and moderate the session to maximise your session and what to prepare.
In case of interest to connect with peers, do reach out to the ICR Facility team (info@icr-facility.eu) and we would be happy to share the contact details with you and/or arrange a meeting.
Group activities, such as structured peer-to-peer events, networking sessions and group trainings, are regularly organised by the ICR Facility. By joining the Exchange Group, you will be the first to be informed and invited to these activities. Active members of the Exchange Group will also have the opportunity to be invited to the ICR Facility’s Women’s Economic Empowerment conference in Kigali, Rwanda taking place on 5-6 June 2024.
Through the DFI Exchange Group, the ICR Facility shares restricted knowledge products, training materials and peer session presentations with members. In case there are knowledge products or events developed by your DFI that you would like to share with peers, we would be happy to facilitate this through the network.
