PREFACE Non-Aligned Movement
Centre for South-South Technical Cooperation (NAM CSSTC) has convened a
workshop on Micro Credit Schemes in NAM Member Countries in Jakarta,
Indonesia on June 2002. The workshop was attended by experts and
participants from NAM member countries and came up with tremendous ideas
and recommendations. Regarding
the outcomes of the workshop, it has been identified that training is
one of the areas, which should be explored.
The Centre decided to follow-up this recommendation by convening
series of regional training for micro-credit practitioners in NAM
member countries. It was decided to commence the training programme by
convening a regional training for micro credit practitioners in East
Asia and the Pacific region. The Regional Training on “Micro
Credit Scheme” was then conducted in Jakarta on 27-31 August 2002 .The
training was organized by NAM
CSSTC in collaboration with Bank
BRI, a state-owned bank which is one of the largest commercial
banks in Indonesia conducting a full range of commercial banking
services, domestic and international. The training is intended to
provide the participants with maximum exposure on sustainable micro
credit practices. The training substance focused on micro credit
technical aspects and is expected to provide instant benefit to micro
credit practitioners in NAM member countries. Upon
completion of this training each trainee is expected to be able to
deliver significant contribution to the development and mobilization of
micro credit practices in his/her country. The
Government of the Republic of Indonesia financed this training.
