Three plenaries were featured : an opening one, ”Institutional Resilience in Focus: What is the Current State of the Sector?” ; a second entitled ‘Creating an Environment for Effective and Inclusive Savings’ and EMW 2020 concluded with ‘2020 in the Rear-view Mirror: Conversations on the Future of Financial Inclusion’.
Over the three days a diverse range of topics were covered: the impact of Covid-19, climate change resilience; client protection, digitalisation, savings (the topic of the 2020 European Microfinance Award), housing microfinance, WASH, remittances, refugees and agri-finance – among others.
