    Please indicate any innovations in your microfinance program planned for the coming year: 

    We hope to break ground in some new programs with more emphasis on microfinance and

    financial inclusion while strengthening our offerings in our regular programs. By learning from

    our pilot programs on core curriculum in financial supervision, digital finance supervision, we

    will improve upon these programs for continued runs in 2017. We will also continue our work

    on long-term country engagements and expand this area. Wherever possible, gender and

    financial inclusion will be components of our programs. We will continue our efforts to promote

    cross-sectoral programs, and pensions and securities programs.

    While program delivery and program quality are key focuses, our 2017 plan also includes

    progress on other goals such as strengthening our supervisory guidance function, promoting

    our online resource centre which includes TC supervisory guidance notes, emailing updates on

    relevant publications to our associates, and offering webinars on emerging topics, all of which

    enable us to provide post-program support. It ensures that Toronto Centre can continue

    delivering the excellence in capacity building and training outside the classroom.
