European Microfinance Week 2011 Conference Report

European Microfinance Week is one of the largest and certainly the most significant microfinance event in Europe. Organised by the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP) it gathers e-MFP members and other important actors in microfinance. The event brings the industry together to discuss important developments in the sector and its outcomes help to shape the global approach to microfinance.

The theme for 2011 was “Inclusive finance for excluded people: microfinance refocusing on the underserved, unserved and vulnerable”, re-affirming the social mission of microfinance. eMFP was particularly pleased to welcome on our 5th anniversary, the 373 participants from 60 countries who joined us in Luxembourg.
