The objective of this conference was to capture the lessons and best practices—the successes and failures in agricultural finance, financial liberalization, risk management and microfinance—to pave the way forward for smart, sustainable financial market services tailored for the specific challenges of rural economies. Examination of current institutions, programs and ways to improve rural finance policies produced policy and programming recommendations for donors and practitioners involved in rural finance development.
