The forum will have debates on some of the most challenging issues facing microfinance and financial inclusion.
SRIJAN 2009 Forum will bring forth new issues such as comparison between microfinance and subprime, the conflict between social and financial returns, and whether those responsible to make financial inclusion happen, are working hard enough.

A key aspect of the event will be the fourth annual SRIJAN Awards, that recognize innovation, social impact, transparency and client focus in financial inclusion at this forum, will be given. Nominations for the awards will be open from Sept. 25, 2009.
