Business Mentors New Zealand 21 Years Of Success

Howick Little Theatre

Twenty one years on, with more than 60,000 New Zealand businesses having been given a helping hand, it seems inconceivable that the uniquely Kiwi success story that is Business Mentors (BMNZ), hung by a fragile thread in its early years. Through the work of over 1,800 independent volunteer business mentors BMNZ enables people with recognised skills and success to put something back into their own communities. It provides a mentoring service to any businesses that are trading with evidence of accounts facilitating access to a wide variety of volunteer mentors (who give their experience, skill and knowledge free of charge, apart from a one off $150 registration fee).

Francois Stepman

The Innovative Agriculture for Smallholder Resilience (iNASHR) project (Egypt) was implemented over 3 years during which there was the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to instability in farm prices and uncertainties in water availability. Despite this, 18 teams of Entrepreneurs for Rural Access (ERAs) serving as digital extension service providers were able to reach more than 60,000 people in rural communities between 2021 and 2023. Three specially commissioned “farmer-to-farmer” style training videos were produced (see at the bottom of this blog post), and 60 other relevant Access Agriculture videos were translated into Arabic and shown to farmers. These active service providers, half of whom are women, used a solar-powered smart projector to reach communities where access to power supply, internet connection and mobile phone signal can be challenging.

‘How is the African insurance industry responding to climate change?’

Francois Stepman

6 June 2023. ‘How is the African insurance industry responding to climate change?’ https://paepard.blogspot.com/2023/06/how-is-african-insurance-industry.html The insurance industry is exposed to the risks of climate change and that risk is increasing. Insurers should be aware of these risks and the potential impact on their business. A 2019 global survey [With Climate Impacts Growing, Insurance Companies Face Big Challenges] found that 72 percent of insurance companies believe climate change will affect their business, but 80 percent of them have not taken significant steps to lessen climate risks. Moreover, insurance companies invest the money from the premiums they collect in the financial markets. They have $582 billion invested in fossil fuels investments that could be devalued as climate risks increase. As natural disasters become more frequent and more costly, insurance companies are facing big challenges. If insurers are to weather the storms ahead, they’ll need to make some changes. The insurance industry needs to make substantial changes to deal with its own climate risks. Some of these changes could also enable insurance companies to help speed the transition to a net-zero society. Speakers Diana Castro (picture) is part of UNEP. As the Programme Supervisor of the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) initiative, Diana oversees the largest collaboration between the United Nations and the insurance industry, which has over 250 members worldwide committed to integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance risks into their decision-making. Lesley Ndlovu (picture) is currently the Chief Executive Officer of African Risk Capacity “ARC” Ltd, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Kelvin Massingham is Director of Risk and Resilience at FSD Africa, where he is responsible for driving financial market innovation in Africa to increase resilience and create pathways for green finance to flow towards a net-zero and nature-positive future.

How are African banks coping with Climate Change

Francois Stepman

16 May 2023. This webinar discussed how climate-related risks threaten the functioning of banking institutions as well as the stability of the financial system. Climate change and climate policy affect the balance sheets and business models of banks in different ways. African banks are vulnerable to the increasing frequency and severity of climate change shocks. They are also increasingly aware of the importance of adopting green financing principles, seeking to address risks and more importantly, to grasp new opportunities. However, only 17% of banks have so far introduced specific green financing products, and these are estimated to account for only 2-20% of their portfolio . The webinar discussed how climate-related risks threaten the functioning of banking institutions as well as the stability of the financial system. The discussions also shed light on initiatives of banks to implement sustainable practices and central banks to create an enabling environment for sustainable finance drawing on international best practices. http://paepard.blogspot.com/2023/05/climate-and-african-financial-sector.html
