The Financial Services Training Resource Centre (FSTRC) is an initiative of  MicroSave, working in collaboration with several other microfinance focused organisations who share the vision of putting as many training resources as possible into the public domain so that they can be easily accessed and used by microfinance institutions, trainers, consultants and other stakeholders across the globe.

Resources available on this site include information on training programs and learning events, resources for designing and delivering training, and training content materials to help you build excellent capacity.  There is also a list of online links to assist you in finding trainers for your training needs.

Each month we feature articles relevant to capacity building and an "Interview with an Expert."  We hope you will help us in building the site by contributing your ideas and resources as well.
