Sufficiency Economy in Microfinance for SME Development, International Training Course by Mekong Institute, and Thailand International Cooperation Agency, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2020-21
The program emphasized Thailand’s “Sufficiency Economy Philosophy” (SEP) as a guiding framework for promoting sustainable, inclusive, and resilient SME development. Through intensive sessions, case studies, and field visits, Mr. Jahan gained in-depth insights into how microfinance institutions and community-based enterprises can apply SEP principles—moderation, reasonableness, and resilience—to enhance financial inclusion and strengthen local economies. His participation in this international program broadened his perspective on sustainable enterprise management, poverty reduction, and the role of ethical finance in achieving balanced socio-economic growth.
