ESG & WASH for Financial Institutions in Uganda: An Introduction
Course modified date: 13 October 2026
Environmental, Social, and Governance (or ESG) is a framework that incorporates non-financial considerations into financial decision-making. This course explores the importance of integrating water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) into financial planning and investment strategies. As it creates sustainable financing opportunities that deliver both business value and positive development outcomes.
In three hours, you will develop a good understanding of how ESG considerations affect WASH systems and their role in strengthening service delivery, protecting public health, supporting economic development, and building resilient institutions.
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.
