Five representatives from the DR financial sector join the 11th ISA training program for bankers

New Delhi – Five representatives from the Dominican Republic banking sector took part in the 11th batch of the online training program for Bankers of the International Solar Alliance countries (ISA). The sessions that took place between the 22 and 25 of November were specifically arranged for participants from the Latin American and Caribbean regions. 

Officials from the Central Bank, the Superintendence of Banks and the Association of Commercial Banks (ABA) of the Dominican Republic attended the five day course. As stated by the ISA the objective of this week-long initiative was to “develop specific skills for enabling Bankers and Finance professionals to assess techno-commercial feasibility and financial viability of setting up solar PV systems”. 

The Dominican Republic's participation in this course was coordinated by the National Council for Climate Change, the Ministry of Energy and Mines, and the Dominican Republic Embassy in New Delhi. 

A franco-indian initiative launched in 2015, with headquarters in Gurugam, India, the ISA was conceived as a coalition of solar-resource-rich countries to address their special energy needs. It aims at being "an action-oriented, member-driven, collaborative platform for increased deployment of solar energy technologies to enhance energy security and sustainable development, and to improve access to energy in developing member countries".
