I know a lot of these focus on the events and occurrences outside of work, but just want to let you know that I am working! The new Loan Impact Assessment project we have been developing with my core team has been going well and moving forward. We are hoping to have our first results ready for the PPIC-Work annual meetings in February. Also, you can check out a case study focusing on the PPIC-Work project and MEDA’s efforts to empower youth through microfinance on USAID’s microLINKS site (www.microlinks.org). Click on the ‘Note from Egypt’ for more information about EACID, MEDA, and the PPIC-Work project.
