Encouraging Collaboration: Microfinance India this Week

Along with a booming microfinance industry in India comes a variety of organizations offering a variety of different services with a variety of delivery channels. As one such organization in the mix, Opportunity India recognizes the need for open communication and collaboration.

This week, the Microfinance India Summit is brining together key leaders in the microfinance industry to delve into and debate key current issues in the sector. It allows for open and honest dialogue so that microfinance can keep its focus on the poor.

With the theme of “Doing Good and Well: the need for balance,” the summit seeks to identify the key focus for microfinance in the coming years. The summit will look at “both the trade-offs and points of convergence as the sector grapples to balance between building the social as well as the financial capital; scale and soul; social performance measurement; client protection; products and services that the poor need; and issues linked to last-mile connectivity, among others.”

Opportunity International will be following along with the Microfinance India Blog to track key ideas and trends in microfinance. Check it out here.

By collaborating with and learning from other key thinkers in the microfinance industry, Opportunity is able to most effectively give the poor a working chance.
