Post-Conference SIFTA Workshop:
Building a Collaborative Response to Global Challenges & Disruptions

Leveraging MFC’s successful experience in facilitating the CEO Forum, SIFTA invites CEOs, management teams, and thought leaders to explore critical issues shaping the future of microfinance. This year’s edition of the Forum will focus on two strategic issues and will be divided into 3 parts.

Part 1: Cultural change, labour market dynamics and the AI revolution.
Participants and experts will discuss the transformative power of AI and its impact on the cultural landscape and labor market. We will then deliberate on how the expected changes brought about by the AI revolution could inform strategic-decision making process at the MFI level.

Part 2: Securing financial stability in turbulent times: exploring new and innovative funding sources
We will explore innovative approaches to funding microfinance including social impact bonds and crowdfunding platforms. Participants, including impact investors, will share their strategies to develop sustainable financial models that adapt to changing socio-economic environments and evolving client needs. We will also brainstorm about new funding sources and channels that have not been explored yet but could bring additional financing opportunities for MFIs.

Part 3: Leveraging the power of cooperation
In an increasingly complex and dynamic political and socio-economic landscape, collaboration among MFIs is crucial for shared success. We will explore ways of increasing knowledge exchange, fostering open dialogue and peer-to-peer learning among CEOs and their MFIs.

The registration was completed.
