The objective of the research project “Development of a training model in the strengthening of microfi-nance in Uganda” has been the definition and the dissemination of a training model in the field of microfi-nance in Uganda. The project can be replicated on a national scale and would have the potential to improve the effectiveness of this sector in order to ultimately reduce financial exclusion. The project achieved main results as follows: organization of a specialized course to improve professional capabilities of local experts working in the field of microfinance in Uganda;implementation of the sustainability to be achieved in terms of microfinance projects’ dissemination by helping the new operators to the introduction of new initiatives in remote areas;improvement of the mobility of trained human resources in order to develop develop a comparative approach to microfinance, in paticular to the issue of microinsurance;creation of an internet portal, in both Italian and English, to open an interesting communicative window;improvement of the availability of relevant data in order to assess the progress and the impact of microfinance projects;sharing micro-entrepreneurial experiences that can create positive externalities to further expand productive activities;dissemination of best practices that will improve entrepreneurial skills, fostering greater impact on the socio-economic context.
Economic growth reflects the long-term expansion of the productive potential of the economy. It is generally accepted as a widespread measure of the population’s well-being. Nevertheless the rate of growth of a country does not always represent the real improvement of the domestic behavior as it fails to capture key-aspects such as the environmental sustainability and the benefits of digital transformation. A rapid growth of the GDP brings benefits and costs as those deriving from the globalization and the impact of financial activities. Short-term growth depends on the economic cycles. Even if the growth rates weaken, per-capita income keeps growing. The volume follows the main growth theories and then addresses current issues such as the impact of the digital transformation of the society, the development aid policies as well as the contribution of the sovereign wealth funds. The last part is devoted to the effects on institutions, the perspectives of the Italian economy and the need for changes in the European institutions.
