Event: Fair trade, micro-credit, micro-enterprise, co-operatives—terms commonly used in discussions of economic development and income generation. Yet, achieving long-lasting change consists of more than just providing a loan to an individual or community.

Our panelists will consider methods of income generation, focusing on their experiences in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
