Planning and Implementation of Deposit Insurance & Financial Stability Training Course in Nairobi, Kenya
Classroom training in Nairobi · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 1,500
Confidence in the banking system rests on depositors believing their savings are safe. When a bank fails, a credible insurance scheme and a prepared safety net can prevent a local failure from turning into a run on the entire sector. Five days prepare supervisors, central bank staff and scheme managers to design, fund and run that protection.
The programme begins with the purpose of deposit insurance, the IADI Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems and the wider safety net of supervision, lender of last resort and resolution. You then examine mandate and powers, membership, coverage limits and eligible deposits, public awareness, and funding through ex-ante contributions, risk-based premiums and backup liquidity. Operational sessions cover data requirements, single customer view files, reimbursement planning and payout timelines, depositor communication, and simulation testing. Resolution content addresses least-cost tests, purchase and assumption, bridge institutions and information sharing between agencies. Macroprudential concepts, stress testing and crisis preparedness complete the picture. It suits staff of deposit protection agencies, central banks, finance ministries and supervisory authorities, together with bank risk, compliance and treasury officers. You leave able to draft a scheme design note, a payout plan and a crisis communication outline. Classroom, online or in-house; CPD-accredited.

About this course
Banking crises, however rare, impose high costs on depositors, taxpayers and the wider economy. Authorities in many African and emerging markets are creating or strengthening deposit protection arrangements, often alongside new resolution laws and closer supervision of digital finance. A scheme that exists on paper but has no funding, data or tested procedures will not preserve confidence when it is needed most.
The Planning and Implementation of Deposit Insurance & Financial Stability Training Course follows the path from policy to operations. Participants study the objectives of deposit protection, how it fits into the financial safety net, and the legal and governance features of well-designed schemes. They then work through technical decisions: coverage levels, scope, funding targets, premium assessment and investment of the fund. A substantial part of the week focuses on readiness: obtaining depositor records, verifying claims, paying quickly, communicating clearly and working with the supervisor and resolution authority when a bank is in difficulty.
The delivery is workshop-based. Participants use simplified data sets to calculate coverage and premiums, run a payout simulation, discuss crisis case studies from different regions and draft an implementation plan for their own jurisdiction or institution.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the objectives of deposit insurance and its place in the financial safety net.
- Apply the IADI Core Principles when reviewing the design and governance of a scheme.
- Determine appropriate coverage limits, eligible deposits and membership rules.
- Design funding arrangements, including target fund size and risk-based premium models.
- Plan payout operations, from data collection and claim verification to payment channels.
- Coordinate with supervisors and resolution authorities on failing bank management.
