The Micro, SME & Housing Finance Summer Academy seeks to equip participants with profound technical know-how in one of four subjects areas (operational risk management, SME banking, rural, or housing finance), build leadership and negotiation skills, and develop a better understanding of current trends in developing communities.

Participants can choose between one of four technical elective subjects (Advanced Credit Risk in MSME Finance, Trends in SME Banking, Rural Finance and Housing Finance), four leadership electives and four current trends electives.
