Welcome to THE Boulder Institute of Microfinance

We are delighted to announce the return of our in-person Microfinance and Rural Finance Training Programs:

  • in French, in Marseille, spring of 2025
  • Rural and Agricultural Finance, in English, spring of 2025

Boulder Institute provides an incomparable experience to participants.  We designed all sessions to support our participant’s ability to participate in and guide strategic decisions on important topics for financial inclusion when they return home.

All our programs will focus on the latest innovations and core practices for:

  • obtaining and retaining clients through client centric practice,
  • managing the process of digitalizing operations that transform our business models,
  • benchmarking financial performance, ratings, and certifications, and,
  • managing risk.

Our Masterclass series will cover hot topics like climate change resiliency, gender specific opportunities, open banking, over indebtedness in competitive markets, and rural financial services.

All participants participate in our Masterclass series the first hour of each morning. Then everyone chooses one elective course for the remainder of the morning and one for the afternoon.  These electives will run from Monday through Thursday. Friday, participants will switch to another elective course for a 2.5-hour intensive seminar on one of the other topics.   This will allow each participant to experience a variety of topics at different levels of intensiveness during their stay.

Please contact us quickly to start the registration process, especially if you need to acquire a visa to come to Italy for the English MFT program.  We are limiting the size of this year’s programs for logistical reasons and will receive participants on a first come first serve basis.
