Quel rôle pour la micro-finance en Europe en période d'austérité ?
Published on mardi, septembre 22, 2015
Summary
Cette conférence a pour but de questionner le potentiel de la microfinance en Europe pour lutter contre le double défi de l'austérité et de la crise financière ; elle est ouverte à tous les acteurs qui travaillent dans le secteur de la microfinance : chercheurs, institutions et organismes du secteur de la microfinance ou décideurs politiques. L’objectif, à travers cette conférence, est de favoriser l'émergence de nouvelles idées, et de dégager des solutions concrètes pour envisager comment la microfinance pourrait contribuer à répondre aux difficultés que rencontrent les ménages à faible revenu.
