The Alliance Forum Foundation organizes periodic tours for those interested in learning first-hand about our activities in developing countries to promote economic independence and development. (only in Japanese)
◆Bangladesh Study Tour◆
Our Foundation is currently implementing a number of projects which provide private-sector led development support and seek to advance the public interest and democracy across the globe. In Bangladesh, we have partnered with BRAC, the country's largest NGO, to create courses for microfinance professionals and help close the digital divide by pioneering innovative business models such as bracNet.
Beginning in January of last year, our Foundation has organized periodic study tours to Bangladesh which enable interested parties to learn more about some of our activities first-hand.
