Our Mission

The Center for Sustainable Finance and Public Policy (CeFiS) is dedicated to producing, systematizing, and disseminating critical and applied knowledge on the relationship between the financial system and public policy.
In doing so, it seeks to contribute to the transformation of the financial architecture to effectively mobilize the financial resources required for a sustainable green transition and help bridge the financing gap faced by developing economies, with a particular focus on the challenges, opportunities, and institutional realities of Global South economies.

Governance

We are a purpose-driven collective of directors who lead collaboratively according to the situational leadership model. CeFiS is designed for agility, innovation, and impact, where leadership is dynamic and responsive to the moment. Instead of a traditional hierarchical organization, we operate with a rotating leadership model: the most suitable director takes the lead depending on the nature of the task, the context, and the expertise required.

This enables us to remain flexible, leverage our deep domain knowledge, and cultivate a culture of shared responsibility and mutual trust. The group of Senior Fellows plays a central role in the academic life of CeFiS and its R&D activities. Under our guidance, we have the operational and research team. We also count on the assistance of an international advisory board.
