The PNG-ADB Microfinance Project is spear-heading the microfinance development in PNG. I welcome and encourage the Pacific participants to interact with your PNG counterparts to learn and get as much information as possible from this conference to help you develop your microfinance sectors. Acknowledgement I would like to acknowledge the contributions of our development partners through the Project.
One of the components of the Project is the Microfinance Competence Centre (MCC). I would like to thank the team members of MCC for organizing this conference and inviting participants from the Pacific region to attend.
