Global Microfinance Achievement Awards 2011
C5 is proud to launch the Global Microfinance Achievement Awards. These awards recognise the efforts, innovations and services that ensure maximum business and social returns within this vitally important sector. The Awards are designed to offer a unique opportunity to highlight and promote innovation and performance at the company, project or individual level. A celebration dedicated to those that work tirelessly to promote excellence in the microfinance marketplace.
The Global Microfinance Achievement Awards will take place on the 6th of July at C5’s Microfinance Investment Summit, the industry gathering of the year for financial institutions, MFIs, NGOs, MIVs and all other major stakeholders.
