In a couple of days, I will be traveling to Antananarivo, Madagascar. I will be spending 8 months working for the Première Agence de Microfinance (PAMF) Madagascar through a fellowship with the Aga Khan Foundation Canada.
I thought I’d start by answering some of the most common questions I get about my fellowship!
What are you going to be doing there?
As far as I know, I’m going to be working for the Product Research and Development Department at PAMF. PAMF is a microfinance institution, so that could mean researching and developing micro-loan products. However, like with any true international development experience, things will probably change once I’m on the ground so, we’ll see!
Are you going with anyone else?
I’m the only AKFC fellow going to Madagascar this year. There are 25 other brilliant fellows embarking on equally cool experiences in other countries. Some of their blogs are linked on the right!
Hi! I am a current Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Madagascar. I would love to connect with you about KIVA and the Micro Loaning projects you are doing here in Madgascar! Thanks !
