You are invited to the 3rd annual 3-day Regional Rural Finance Thematic Workshop to be held on 25th - 27th July 2007 at Hotel Africana in Kampala, Uganda. In an effort to create synergy in the region, this joint workshop will be co-hosted by Swedish Cooperative Centre (SCC), International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and Rural Finance Knowledge Management Partnership (KMP).  

 We will undertake a short-term research that will focus on "Use ICT to Deepen Outreach and customer satisfaction index" and the findings will be presented at the workshop. In addition, our partners DFS and CIDR will share their experiences, as well as selected IFAD projects/programme experiences around this theme. We will organize a field visits to Ugandan R/MFIs involved in rural finance activities.
