Welcome to our first cohort for Risk-Based Supervision for Inclusive Digital Financial Services.
We hope you’re excited for the journey ahead.
The goal for this programme is to produce Digital Financial Service (DFS) Supervisors who will promote, support, and advocate for the development and implementation of appropriate risk-based supervision solutions that advance inclusive digital financial services.
The programme will equip you to identify, appropriately prioritise, and address supervisory issues using risk-based supervision. It will provide insight into new and emerging service models, business models, and technologies in DFS, enabling you to apply these risk-based and proportionate supervisory approaches to new developments, helping you stay current and prepared in this evolving field.
By applying these approaches, becoming more data-driven and incorporating a gender perspective in your own supervisory work, you will play a key role in driving more inclusive DFS.
The programme consists of two components:
- Online Learning Component (Eight-week online course)
- Innovation Working Groups or Communities of Practice
Learning Outcomes
Online Learning Component
By the end of the online learning component, participants will be able to:
- Describe risk-based supervisory approaches and practices relevant to proportional supervision for inclusive DFS. (KS)*
- Select appropriate combinations of risk-based supervisory tools to advance inclusive DFS and other statutory goals. (KS)*
- Address priority risks through timely and proportionate supervisory actions that enable the development of inclusive DFS. (B)*
- Discuss emerging approaches and tools for risk-based DFS supervision, and how they can be used to promote inclusive DFS. (KS)*
- Identify and appropriately prioritise supervisory issues emerging from innovation in business models, products and services, and technologies for more inclusive DFS. (KS/B)*
- Implement proportionate and inclusion-aware risk-based supervisory approaches to support the development of appropriate, financially inclusive solutions. (B)*
- Promote inclusive DFS by incorporating a gender perspective to risk-based DFS supervision, making use of gender-disaggregated data (B)*
- Connect and collaborate with other supervision practitioners in-country to share challenges and develop strategies for integrating new technologies, gender awareness, proportionality, and a risk-based approach to supervision into national policy, thereby promoting financial inclusion. (S)*
*KEY: KS – Knowledge and Skills; B – Behaviour; S – Social
Innovation Working Groups or Communities of Practice
By attending the working groups, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Apply the online learning component concepts to real-world challenges.
- Exchange lessons across financial supervisory practices.
- Co-develop practical strategies for inclusive, gender-aware financial supervision.
- Strengthen intra- and inter-country coordination.
- Produce tangible outputs to inform and improve financial supervisory frameworks.
Ultimately, the programme aims to strengthen inclusive digital financial services by equipping participants with the skills to apply an inclusive, risk-based approach to supervision.
