In response to an internal study showing strong demand for a world-class-quality, research-informed masters degree in microfinance, Australia’s Foundation for Development Cooperation (FDC) is seeking your input on this possibility via an online survey. While acknowledging that there are a few existing masters degrees specialising in microfinance, FDC argues for the expansion of offerings citing the ranking of “weak management quality” in the top five risks for microfinance by the “Microfinance Banana Skins” survey each of the last two years.
