🌍 Strengthening Governance Through Collaboration | CGI Mauritius 🤝🇲🇺
CGI Mauritius, through its President Narad Dawoodarry, was honoured to welcome Kayla Schembri, Head of Policy at The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland, during her recent visit to Mauritius. 🇬🇧🤝🇲🇺
📅 On 19 October 2026, a high-level strategic meeting was convened and chaired by Mr Dhanraj Conhye, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Financial Services & Economic Planning, bringing together key stakeholders from the governance, regulatory and financial services sectors, including:
🔹 Nitin Ramphul, Chief Executive Officer, Financial Services Institute (FSI)
🔹 Prabha Divanandum Chinien, Chief Executive, Financial Services Commission (FSC)
🔹 Padminee Sunassee, Acting Director, Office of Public Sector Governance (OPSG)
🔹 Rishi Poran, Analyst, Office of Public Sector Governance (OPSG)
💡 The discussions were insightful, engaging and forward-looking, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening governance frameworks, enhancing institutional effectiveness and promoting international best practices across Mauritius.
✨ We are particularly delighted that Kayla Schembri left Mauritius with a strong appreciation of the important work being undertaken by our public institutions, regulators and professional bodies to advance governance excellence, regulatory effectiveness and professional development. The meeting also highlighted exciting opportunities for deeper collaboration between CGI and Mauritian stakeholders in support of capacity building, thought leadership and governance innovation.
👏 CGI Mauritius would also like to place on record its sincere appreciation to Nitin Ramphul for his excellent presentation on the vision and strategic direction of the Financial Services Institute (FSI). The FSI is a forward-thinking initiative with tremendous potential to strengthen knowledge development, skills enhancement and professional excellence within Mauritius' financial services sector and beyond.
🚀 Looking ahead, CGI Mauritius believes there is significant value in exploring a formal partnership with the Financial Services Institute through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Such a collaboration could pave the way for joint training programmes, governance certifications, professional development initiatives, research projects and knowledge-sharing platforms that will benefit the wider governance community.

🌟 This successful visit has further strengthened CGI Mauritius' relationships with key national institutions and opened promising avenues for future collaboration. Together, we remain committed to promoting the highest standards of governance, integrity, professionalism and leadership for the benefit of Mauritius and its future generations.
