Voices From the Ground: Video Conference 1, Kenya

Luxembourg Microfinance & Development Fund (LMDF) is pleased to present its first in a series of interviews on the impact of COVID-19 in the countries where the fund operates.

The pandemic has certainly changed peoples' lives in Luxembourg, but what happens in countries where poverty rates are higher and where the informal economy dominates? This series of interviews looks at how micro-entrepreneurs are coping in this changed world.

This week, the video conference will feature an interview with Olivia Fechner, an Investment Officer for ADA who is based in Nairobi. Olivia has worked for ADA since 2013, and specializes in researching microfinance institutions based in East Africa. The interview will be followed by a Q&A session to give a chance for the participants to engage.
