Getting involved in our initiatives and activities

The purpose of the Working Group is to facilitate the implementation of the Corporate Governance Development Framework Agreement or any future Agreement the Signatories may decide to agree upon in relation to cooperation on corporate governance.

More specifically, the Working Group is tasked to:

• Organize an annual conference in which Signatories gather to share experience and foster communication,
• Facilitate the annual reporting about progress in the implementation of the Framework, and
• Perform other tasks the Signatories may deem useful or provide specific assignments for.

The Working Group is currently composed of ten institutions, namely: Asian Development Bank (ADB), British International Investment (BII), Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB), CAF – Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), FindevCanada, the Dutch Development Bank (FMO), IDB Invest, International Finance Corporation (IFC), and Proparco Groupe AFD (PROPARCO).

The updated version of the Charter of the Working Group (2026), which sets out its mandate, governance structure, and operating procedures, can be found here.

In addition, the Working Group has adopted complementary guidance documents to support its functioning, including the Principles for Working Group Membership Selection and the Onboarding Steps for Working Group Members, which aim to ensure a transparent selection process and a consistent integration of new members.

Working Group Committees

The Working Group can establish Committees to better accomplish its tasks and complete its assignments. The composition of a Committee is not limited to Working Group members. Other representatives of Signatories who are not participating in the Working Group are encouraged to join any Committee. The total number of Committee members should be a maximum of five and a minimum of three. It should involve at least one Working Group member to facilitate the communication with the Working Group.
