MICROFINANCE AND THE TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABILITY

In light of ICCD`s ongoing efforts to achieve sustainable development in all member states, the regional forum entitled “Microfinance and the Transition to Sustainability”, was held, in person and virtually, in partnership with the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce (FEDCOC), and sponsored by Al Baraka Forum for Islamic Economy.

Out of Egypt’s economic and developmental leadership in the African continent throughout history, the “Microfinance and the Transition to Sustainability” Forum tackled, for two consecutive days, means and mechanisms to promote the microfinance sector across the region, as a main pillar and an indispensable approach for achieving a comprehensive, sustainable and equitable development, in addition to ways to support the promising entrepreneurs and start-ups in various countries, through a series of panel and technical sessions that witnessed rich discussions among a selection of the most prominent leaders and experts in economy, development and sustainability from Africa and the Islamic world, in the presence of high-level delegations from several chambers and international organizations.
