Banking systems in Africa and beyond face pressure from currency swings, concentrated lending, rapid digital finance growth and cross-border group exposures. Deposit insurance schemes and financial stability committees exist to limit the damage when a bank fails, but their value depends on being prepared and on proving it. Boards, governments, the IMF and other partners increasingly expect measurable evidence of readiness rather than statements of intent.

Monitoring and Evaluation of Deposit Insurance and Financial Stability is a programme for professionals who must produce that evidence. Participants review the mandate and design features of deposit insurance, the links with supervision, resolution and lender-of-last-resort functions, and the data an institution needs to track. They then learn how to set outcomes and indicators, collect and verify data, analyse trends and design evaluations that go beyond compliance reporting.

Working sessions use anonymised bank data, sample fund reports and crisis scenarios. Participants build a performance framework, rehearse a payout readiness review, analyse a simulated failure and conclude with a monitoring and evaluation plan designed for their own organisation and its governance arrangements.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Explain how deposit insurance, supervision and resolution work together to preserve stability.
• Construct a results framework with outcomes, outputs and measurable indicators.
• Evaluate target fund adequacy, premium design and fund investment performance.
• Assess payout readiness, including data files, systems and reimbursement timelines.
• Analyse early warning and stress testing results for decision making.
• Design evaluations and after-action reviews of crisis exercises and resolution cases.
• Produce clear performance reports for boards, regulators and international partners.

The programme is designed for senior and mid-level staff responsible for financial safety nets and oversight, including:

• Deposit insurance corporation managers and analysts
• Central bank financial stability and supervision officers
• Resolution authority staff
• Ministry of finance and treasury policy advisers
• Bank risk and compliance officers
• Internal and external auditors of financial institutions
• Monitoring and evaluation specialists in financial sector programmes
• Development partner staff supporting financial sector reform

Participants leave the course with:

• A results framework and indicator set for a deposit insurance or stability function.
• A payout readiness assessment checklist covering data, systems and processes.
• A fund adequacy review template with scenario inputs.
• A structure for an after-action review of a simulation or failure case.
• A board reporting format that summarises performance on one page.
• A monitoring and evaluation plan with data sources and responsibilities.

The programme is analytical and discussion based, suited to experienced practitioners. It features:

• Expert-led sessions on safety net design and evaluation methods
• Worked examples using anonymised bank and fund data
• A simulated bank failure with a timed payout readiness task
• Group design of indicator sets and dashboard layouts
• Peer review of each monitoring and evaluation plan

A CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion, issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy, is presented to participants who attend all sessions and contribute to the simulation and planning exercises.
