Expanding the Realm of Consumer Protection through Education

This blog is dedicated to my project entitled "Expanding the Realm of Consumer Protection through Education: The Case of Microfinance in Kenya" sponsored by the Judith Lee Stronanch Baccalaureate Prize at the University of California, Berkeley. I will be posting information to document the progress of my project to increase knowledge about microfinance, to foster collaboration among consumer advocacy networks, and to contribute to current consumer education campaigns.

New Tanzanian Financial Literacy Guide

After a long break from the world of microfinance, I am back into the swing of things. This time, I am not in Kenya but in the United States assisting Tanzanian organizations in the creation of their own financial literacy guide entitled "A Guide to Financial Literacy and Credit Information Sharing."

It will provide educational material and a training framework for financial counselors to help Tanzanian consumers gain knowledge about...
-microfinance
-credit information sharing
-budgeting
-financial based consumer rights

Stay tuned for it's publication funded by Consumers International and The Tanzania Consumer Advocacy Society.
