IFMR-Centre for Micro Finance << Courses and Workshops

As a repository of knowledge on microfinance and research methods the Centre offers several microfinance and research related courses and workshops throughout the year. The sessions are conducted by IFMR academics and staff, as well as noted sectoral experts, and target a diverse audience including staff from MFIs and NGOs, bankers, corporate professionals, students and researchers. A major component of CMF's capacity-building initiative is the Microfinance Researchers Alliance Program. This initiative is aimed to build the research capacity and microfinance expertise of a small cadre of talented Indian academics. The Rapid Immersion into Microfinance course, originally scheduled for May 2011, has been postponed. If you are interested in attending the Fall Course, please contact Amulya Champatiray at amulyakrishna.champatiray@ifmr.ac.in.
