: Rural Finance Research Conference, Rome, Italy

A number of conferences and workshops are organised each year which bring together experts and practitioners in the field of rural finance to discuss and share their experiences. In order to make the information presented at these meetings more widely available and enable non-participants to see the papers and presentations made, this section of the Rural Finance Learning Centre will be used to host materials from the most relevant events for a limited period of time.
