Contact us ? Whatapp ?? ?? INTRODUCTION Private Pensions are becoming an increasingly important part of retirement income. Therefore, the quality and the effectiveness of pension funds supervision is getting more and more critical, as well as challenging. In order to achieve effective supervision, supervisory authorities need to expand risk analysis and develop emerging risk capacities. Thus, risk-based supervision (RBS) is imperative to be adopted along with corresponding risk-assessment methodology, that incorporates both micro and macro perspectives. Strategically selected RBS techniques can result in effective resource allocation, where assets are directed in a way to target the risk exposures that are of greatest concern to the supervisory authority. Hence, RBS is deemed to be a more flexible and dynamic process, that allows for greater efficiency in the event of resource scarcity. This program has been specifically designed by Skills for Africa Training Institute to equip its participants with in-depth knowledge and essential skills to successfully employ RBS techniques. COURSE OBJECTIVES At the end of the course, the participants will be able to: Possess comprehensive understanding of pensions schemes, funds and plans worldwide Compare and employ global best practices of risk-based pension fund supervision and good governance Develop sound decision-making skills for strategic resources allocation and supervisory strategies Employ various risk techniques for pension fund risk management Set appropriate controls and measures against identified risks Analyze various situations and circumstances and foresee possible outcomes Effectively and efficiently handle and manage senior roles and responsible related to risk-based pension fund supervision and stay relevant and competitive for the industry.

Contact us ? Whatapp ? Venue: Royal Tulip Canaan, Nairobi, Kenya INTRODUCTION Data collection and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) have always been an integral part of development work. In the past, these tasks were performed with paper and pen, which made them prone to error, difficult to conduct on a large scale, and high in transaction costs. ICT tools such as mobile devices and software that allows users to create surveys, collect, manage and upload data to storage facilities in real-time, have reduced the conventional challenges associated with remote data collection and M&E. If you have always wanted to learn how to collect, manage and analyze project data using mobile devices, this training course is for you. This training course also comes with additional M&E and GIS modules to help participants put the skills acquired into perspective. The GIS module will help participants work with spatial data.
