Online lessons    
        
Are you curious? Want to know how much you know about rural and micro finance? Or maybe you want to challenge your colleagues or organise in-service training for your staff? These online lessons may be just the thing to help you. Each lesson will include a case study or exercises to complete and you will be able to check your answers as you go. So you can work quite independently or you can work with colleagues and discuss your answers together before looking at the solutions.

We are at an early stage of development with these lessons and you may only find a few here at the moment. Please revisit the Rural Finance Learning Centre during the coming months and you will find an increasing number organised into units containing six or seven lessons each.

Most of the early lessons will be based on Professor Malcolm Harper's training manual "Practical microfinance" published by ITDG Publishing. We are very grateful to both of them for permission to use the material in this way. Later lessons will focus on more specific rural finance topics. Full details of how to order "Practical microfinance" can be obtained by clicking the following "See more" link.   See More...
