This workshop will bring together scholars in development, financial, and behavioural economics, experts in programme and policy evaluation, as well as microfinance practitioners, to discuss microcredit programmes designed to reduce poverty and foster micro-entrepreneurship in developing countries. The focus will be on integrating theoretical and empirical work in the area and on developing collaborations between practitioners and academics in the area of policy formulation and evaluation. The workshop will improve our understanding of the multifaceted links between micro-entrepreneurship and poverty reduction. The resulting research will lead to the formulation of better policies aimed at reducing poverty in developing countries.
