The Corporate Directors Certification Program CDCP is offered by the International Finance Corporation throughout the Egyptian Institute of Directors EIoD. It is the first of its kind, and it is designed to provide participants with tools to tackle improvement of corporate governance practices, which affect the long-term planning and procedures of the board. Covering a wide range of corporate governance issues, participants will acquire the tools for strategic supervision and administrative control, learn about the board's role in disclosure and transparency, and understand how to protect shareholder rights. Participants will be able to become Board Certified Directors after obtaining a minimum of 80 per cent of the total credit hours, and scoring at least 80 per cent on the program final test.
