AMiDA Taps SEDPI as Resource Person in Bali, Indonesia In April 2008, the Academy for Microfinance Development in Indonesia (AMiDA) invited SEDPI's president, Mr. Mariel Vincent Rapisura, to be part of the first faculty to deliver trainings in AMiDA. Mr. Rapisura delivered a training on entitled: "The New Frontier: Linking Microfinance and Remittances." The participants evaluated the delivery of Mr. Rapisura at 4.78 from a possible high score of 5.00. The Microfinance Innovation Center for Resources and Alternatives (MICRA) hosted AMiDA. MICRA is an INdonesian foundation focused solely on the development of the microfinance industry. Mercy Corps founded MICRA in early 2006 to institutionalize and expand its work over the past six years in microfinance throughout Indonesia. Three of SEDPI's staff were participants in AMiDA.
In the first five months this year, SEDPI has already delivered 42 training events, up 30% compared last year. The growth in the number of trainings delivered is primarly due to the expansion of SEDPI's delivery of trainings outside of the Phiippines. A total of 11 international training events were delivered in the following countries: Belgium, Indonesia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. Due to te success of the of the delivery of the Diploma Course in Microfinance to the Central Bank of NIgeria (CBN), the delivery was replicated this year. The conclusion of the trainings held came with the announcement from CBN to make the Diploma Course in Microfinance that SEDPI staff delivers through the Ateneo de Manila University as a permamnent capacity buildig program of the bank. The financial literacy trainings that SEDPI offers to overseas Fiipino workers were replicated in three European countries and one in the Middle East. The trainings were warmly welcomed by the training participants. The financiall iteracy trainings aim to educate overseas Filipino workers and migants to manage their personal finances and leverage their remittance through develoment such as investing in microfinane institutions. |
