Course Overview
Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of sustainable microfinance models. The audit trail behind this part of financial and banking practice matters as much as the decision itself. Ambition around the financial and banking practice capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme works equally well for those formalising sustainable microfinance models for the first time and those improving an existing approach. This programme builds this area of financial and banking practice from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. They leave able to brief senior management on this part of financial and banking practice in terms that support a decision. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place sustainable microfinance models among the areas with the widest performance spread. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this aspect of financial and banking practice in their own setting. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of financial and banking practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
