Microfinance Practice: [MFP] 2013 Microcredit Summit on MicroDINERO & registration rate set to increase Sept 1

Check out the feature story on MicroDINERO (click here), “Public-private partnerships at the 2013 Microcredit Summit”!

Here is one workshop that will delve into the opportunities and challenges of PPPs:

Leveraging Remittances for Asset-Building: Product Evolution, Partnerships, and Challenges

Organized by Appui au Développement Autonome (ADA) and PHB Development

**Description**

The direct relationship between remittances and microloans allows for income generation, job creation, and activity in local economies. This is because MFIs that establish relationships with banks and money transfer operators provide microfinance clients with opportunities to become banked, increase savings and create collateral. Its success is contingent on the clients’ needs and the products offered by the MFI, as well as the creation of solid relationships between the MFI, bank, and money transfer operator (MTO). This workshop will highlight the importance of establishing strong partnerships between MFIs and banks/MTOs while explaining the impact MFIs have in developing tools to influence how remittances can be used productively to strengthen local financial systems.
