Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a framework that incorporates non-financial considerations into financial decision-making. This course explores how Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) can be integrated into financial planning and investment processes.
This course is intended to be completed in a group setting. However, you will go through the course materials individually. In each session, you need to meet as a group to complete the accompanying exercises and report your conclusions on this platform. Sharing your discussions and reflections will support peer learning and foster the exchange of ideas across the groups.
Working collaboratively, you will develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to operationalise ESG-WASH principles and assess, manage, and monitor WASH-related risks within financial portfolios. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify sustainable financing opportunities that deliver both business value and positive development outcomes.
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.
