The next SMDP Webinar will feature
Vulnerability: The State of the Microcredit Summit Campaign Report, 2013
Wednesday, February 27 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST (-5 GMT)
Guest Host Larry R. Reed with Panelists Chandra Shekhar Ghosh, Chairman and Managing Director, Bandhan, India and Luisa Brunori, Department of Psychology, University of Bologna
This webinar will open with news from a recently released report for the Microcredit Summit Campaign, Vulnerability: The State of the Microcredit Summit Campaign Report, 2013, that microfinance providers reached 13 million fewer poorest clients in 2011 than in 2010. This decline was almost exclusively in India as a result of the 2010 crisis in Andhra Pradesh. Our panelists, Chandra Shekhar ("CS") Ghosh, Chairman and Managing Director of Bandhan in India, and Professor Luisa Brunori, full professor of the Department of Psychology at the University of Bologna in Italy, will look at that crisis from the client's perspective. Why didn't clients complain when the Andhra Pradesh government took such draconian actions against the microfinance industry? What was missing in the MFI-client relationship?
Other issues to be discussed include:
** The psychology of the group
** How microfinance groups help people deal with vulnerability
** How mobile technology can be part of the process that helps clients reduce vulnerability and/or increase resilience
This will be an interactive session with multiple opportunities for the audience to weigh in on the issues being discussed.
