Introduction
The Overview Survery (OS) conducted biannualy by EMN and MFC has seen a large increase in the MFI and the public’s interest in Green Products and Green Microfinance. The OS showed that 16% of MFIs have dedicated energy-efficiency loan products, 23% plan to introduce more of such products in the future. This webinar will discuss the microfinance clients’ motivations to use green products and ways to expand client awareness regarding the green transformation.
MFIs recognized in 2021 by MFC as ‘Leaders in Green Inclusive Finance’ will share their views on the topic by answering questions such as:
– What motivates microfinance clients to use green products?
– How to raise microfinance client awareness about the climate issues?
– How to adapt current MFI products to be green?
– What role there is for MFIs, the Government and other stakeholders for raising client green awareness?
Attendance for all webinars in the series is free of charge. The session targets primarily microfinance institutions (MFIs), including greenfield MFIs, banks, NGOs, regulators or other institutions and individuals working in the microfinance sector in Europe. European microfinance providers, either selected as EaSI Technical Assistance beneficiaries or interested to apply for the program can contact easi.ta@fs.de to receive more information about this event, as well as to request the participation in or organization of similar events.
