The factsheet gives you a summarized glimpse into the accomplishments of WWB and our network members, united in our mission of improving the economic access and power of poor women microentrepreneurs, and thereby improving livelihoods and creating sustainable change.

The year 2008 was one of historic change and dynamic accomplishment. Yet, when retrospectives of 2008 are written, they will undoubtedly center on the warning signs and fourth-quarter collapse of the global financial system. Similarly, the microfinance sector reflected this dual sense of opportunity and crisis in 2008.

WWB's e-course, Developing and Using Financial Risk Management Tools, explores key financial risks through a hypothetical microfinance institution (MFI) case study in which learners play the role of a finance manager. The course provides interactive instruction on the use of FRM tool, utilizing examples, exercises and simulations based on real MFI scenarios.

The Toolkit for Developing a Financial Risk Management (FRM) Policy is the leading practical, step-by-step guide that assists MFIs in developing effective risk management strategies and policies.
