LFS deliver a successful webinar on COVID-19 outbreak and containment discussing the topics of business continuity and risk management

On March 23, LFS hosts their second webinar in English on the Corona related crisis / risk management and business continuity for financial institutions coping with the global COVID-19 outbreak. The participation was more than a success with 28 people attending on the call from MFIs mainly in the Middle Eastern and North African regions.

Our 2 hour webinar was performed by one of our in-house risk management experts, presenting an overview introduction to crisis management, business continuity and communication, with examples from other institutions previous similar outbreaks or crisis (civil war, Ebola outbreak, cholera etc.). Following the presentation, a “Question and Answer” session was held, both audio-based and chat based where various managers from LFS were on the call responding with advice.

Some positive feedback kindly received from attendees included:

“Thank you very much for this informative session”
