CENTRES
We are committed to translating policy recommendations into effective policymaking. We achieve this through a collaborative research framework and dissemination of findings using public platforms, which help inform policymakers’ decisions.
To achieve the goals outlined in our vision, three research centres were created in 2005-06:
- Centre for Microfinance (CMF)
- Centre for Development Finance (CDF)
- Small Enterprise Finance Centre (SEFC)
Each centre had its focused thematic research and learning agenda, with socio-economic well-being, inclusive financial systems, and sustainability as core themes across the centres.
In 2014, the three centres were merged under a common umbrella ‘LEAD’.
Our ecosystem also hosts Evidence for Policy Design (EPoD), India and Initiative for What Works to Advance Women and Girls in the Economy (IWWAGE).
