Example Project
IDLO has 12 Regional In-Country Training Workshops. Select participants develop and share their expertise on microfinance regulation.

Beneficiaries include local microfinance entities, NGOs, central banks, other bank regulators, think tanks, borrower groups and government law and policy makers.
