With the rising demand for expertise in construction insurance, engineering risk management, and green power project coverage across West Africa, West Africa Business School (WABS), in collaboration with Talent Asia Training and Consulting (Singapore), will host a transformative workshop from September 15 to 19, 2025 in Accra, Ghana. This event aims to equip risk managers, underwriters, project developers, and insurance professionals with the necessary tools to thrive in the evolving infrastructure and green power development landscape of Africa.
Advancing Insurance Capacity for Green Power Infrastructure
This workshop represents a critical investment in human capital at a time when Africa is witnessing a boom in complex infrastructure, including renewable energy and green power installations. As these projects expand, the insurance industry must evolve in parallel, with a deeper understanding of construction guarantees, liability terms, engineering risk exposure, and the project’s performance warranties.
The training seeks to address these growing knowledge gaps by offering participants practical strategies to manage and insure assets effectively—ensuring business continuity, capital protection, and optimized underwriting results.
Green Power in Focus: Core Themes of the Workshop
The five-day session in Accra will feature a comprehensive curriculum centered on:
Principles of construction and engineering insurance
Infrastructure risk measurement techniques
Underwriting protocols for renewable energy and green power plants
Claims management under engineering and green energy risks
Regulatory insights and global best practices in risk governance
Each module is designed to combine theoretical grounding with real-life case studies, helping participants benchmark local practices against international green power insurance standards.
A Knowledge-Sharing Platform for Green Power Stakeholders
This workshop is more than academic—it’s a collaborative space for peer learning and regional dialogue. Participants will have the chance to engage in cross-sector discussions with experienced professionals from across Africa, Asia, and beyond.
With the continent’s increasing exposure to engineering and green power risks—from solar farms to wind energy installations—such cross-border knowledge exchange is essential for building resilience and shared insurance solutions.
Global Experts Bringing Green Power Experience to Africa
The workshop will be co-facilitated by two seasoned insurance training authorities:
Pooba Mahalingam, Regional Consultant at Talent Asia Training and Consulting, brings over 30 years of international experience in insurance markets across Asia and Africa.
Obasi Ngwuta, CEO of West Africa Business School and Chairman of the Africa Bancassurance Academy, is a leading voice in insurance and risk management education across the continent.
Their combined knowledge will help participants apply insurance strategies not only to traditional construction projects but also to the project’s system, such as solar, hydro, and wind energy.
Why Green Power Insurance Expertise Is Urgent
As Africa races to close its $100 billion annual infrastructure gap, the demand for insurance professionals with technical insight into the project and construction risks is growing rapidly.
The workshop comes at a critical time:
Climate agreements are accelerating green power adoption.
Urban growth and digitization are shifting traditional construction risk profiles.
Regulatory compliance requirements are becoming more complex and strict.
This event is a timely response, offering practical tools to developers, brokers, insurers, and engineers navigating Africa’s emerging risk landscape.
Who Should Attend This Green Power-Centric Workshop?
This professional training is designed for a diverse audience, including:
Insurance and reinsurance underwriters and claims handlers
Engineering and construction project managers
Renewable energy developers and operators
Compliance officers and risk managers
Government and regulatory stakeholders
Whether you’re exploring green power insurance for the first time or enhancing your capacity in high-risk engineering projects, this workshop will deliver value that applies immediately in the field.
Final Thoughts: Elevating Africa’s Risk Management Through Green Power Knowledge
The upcoming workshop in Accra marks a significant step toward preparing the region’s professionals for Africa’s dual challenge: building world-class infrastructure while transitioning to sustainable green power solutions.
By fostering collaboration, upskilling stakeholders, and sharing international insights, this initiative supports a stronger, more resilient insurance industry in West Africa—one that’s ready to underwrite the continent’s future.
