Tanzania
workshop
A
two-day national workshop last December provided an opportunity
for ECLOF Tanzania to review its operation and the environment
in which it works, as well as to consider wider issues.
Workshop members examined current trends and issues in microfinance,
including potential challenges.
Dr Priscilla Daniel of ECLOF International, Geneva led a discussion
on Global Policies and Guidelines in which the focus was on
target groups for ECLOF's work and guidelines for co-operation.
The gathering received information on minimum standards, the
global strategic plan, and three-year plans for national ECLOF
committees.
The group also considered how to maximise the efficiency and
effectiveness of ECLOF Tanzania. Time was additionally spent
on discussion of the role of board members and with planning
the way forward.
