ESG & WASH for Financial Institutions in Uganda

Environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, is a framework which helps integrate non-financial factors into financial decision-making. This course focuses on how to include water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) into financial planning. 

This 8-hour course will equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to operationalise ESG-WASH principles, assess and manage WASH-related risks within financial portfolios. By the end of this course, you will be able to identify sustainable financing opportunities that support both business objectives and sustainable development.  

This course was created by Riva in partnership with Water For People and the Uganda Institute for Banking and Financial services with the generous support of the Sanitation and Hygiene Fund. 

The content is based on the ESG–WASH Curriculum for Financial Institutions developed by the Uganda Bankers Association (UBA) in partnership with Water for People and the Ministry of Water and Environment to strengthen ESG–WASH integration within Uganda's financial sector.
