Over the years, KDIC has supported the hospital through donations of medical equipment, construction of essential shelters and tree-planting initiatives, contributing to a better environment for patients and healthcare workers.

The impact is what makes the partnership meaningful: mothers receiving quality care, improved working conditions for medical teams and better outcomes for newborns and the wider community.

At the just concluded International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) Africa Regional Committee (ARC) Annual General Meeting and Conference, KDIC's Director, Deposit Insurance and Bank Surveillance, Paul Manga, participated in a panel discussion on "Orchestrating System-Wide Responses: Deposit Insurers in Live Crisis Operations."

The session brought together industry experts to examine the important role of deposit insurers during periods of financial stress, focusing on early risk detection, crisis preparedness, inter-agency coordination and the implementation of effective bank resolution strategies. Discussions emphasized the importance of timely decision-making, strong institutional collaboration and coordinated responses in safeguarding financial stability and protecting depositors when financial systems come under pressure.

Drawing from Kenya's experience, Paul shared insights on the importance of robust monitoring frameworks, close collaboration among financial sector safety-net players and well-defined resolution mechanisms in enhancing resilience and ensuring confidence in the financial system during times of uncertainty.

We extend our appreciation to the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) for successfully hosting this year's IADI ARC Annual General Meeting and Conference, and for providing a platform for knowledge exchange, peer learning and regional collaboration among deposit insurers across Africa.

As financial systems continue to evolve and new risks emerge, sustained dialogue and collaboration among deposit insurers remain essential in building confidence before crises occur. By sharing experiences, strengthening institutional capacity and advancing global best practices, we reinforce public trust in deposit insurance and enhance our collective ability to respond effectively when challenges arise. These conversations are essential to safeguarding financial stability and ensuring that confidence in the financial system is built in normal times and sustained during periods of uncertainty.
