précédent sommaire

Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy

5.3.4. The GoR and public / private institutions

There is acute shortage of microfinance resource people in Rwanda. This carries opportunities to training institutions. Higher learning institutions can take this opportunity by organizing affordable professional and academic programs to serve the market demand.

5.4. FUTURE RESEARCH

This research cannot claim to be as exhaustive as many readers may expect it to be. This was due resources constraints. In the future, some closely related studies can be conducted. The following are some of them:

a) The impact of human capital management on the financial performance of Microfinance Institutions: A quantitative approach

b) «Impact of microfinance governance on its financial performance»

c) Analysis of Rwandan MFIs' competitiveness
