The Microfinance Association
Microfinance is an influential and fast-growing field in International Finance and Economics. From its origins in South Asia, it is being adopted in more and more countries across the world in Europe and the Americas, as well as Africa and East Asia, as a means of creating new businesses and combating poverty in a sustainable way. It works by providing a wide range of financial services to people who have little or nothing in the way of traditional collateral, and thus helping them to build up assets, survive crises, establish small businesses and to take control of their lives.
The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to best practices in the design, management, and evaluation of microfinance programs. At the end of the course, participants will be able to describe the role of microfinance in the financial services sector; the profile of the average microfinance client; the range of providers of microfinance services; the role of government in developing microfinance; and the principles of microfinance performance management.
