Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We at the NCRFW are very pleased to be part of this significant activity. This is, I think, the very first time that NAPC is engaging the MFIs to discuss gender mainstreaming in the microfinance sector. We deem this a very good opportunity to share with you NCRFWâs thrusts on womenâs economic empowerment and microfinance, as well as to forge strong partnership with the MFIs, so that we can achieve our national economic goal of holistic and sustainable development for women and men.
