The Social Enterprise Development Partnerships Inc. (SEDPI) and the Community Rural Bank of Catmon (CRBC) of Catmon, Cebu recently inked its partnership for the establishment of the training hub in Cebu. It is SEDPI’s third training hub in the Visayas.
The Community Rural Bank of Catmon is a rural bank in the municipality of Catmon in the north of Cebu City. The partnership with CRBC started in 2010 as a capacity building and technical and mentoring assistance (TAMA) partner. In early 2011, talks were conducted about the proposed training hub in Cebu City. It was inked late 2011. The partnership is SEDPI’s answer to the need for capacity building services for microfinance institutions and organizations in the region.
Microfinance courses to be held in the Cebu training hub are already on schedule. Courses offered this March are Fundamentals and Methodologies of Microfinance (March 26-28) and Customer Care for Microfinance Institutions (March 29-31).
