                                                          The paper will discuss the role of micro finance in post-conflict/post-tsunami Aceh, and it is titled: Micro Finance not a Panacea but..: The Economic and Social Development of Post Conflict, Post Tsunami Aceh Through Innovative Grass Root Micro Finance Approaches.

                                                          The paper will be presented by Fakhrurrazi, SE - FBA Micro finance Program Manager, assisted by Nic Borgese, FBA Communications and ExternaRelations-Volunteer for International development from Australia (ViDA)

                                                          Tsunami hit Japan

                                                          Ten metre high tsunami waves slammed northeastern Japan triggered by a massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake and swept away people, cars, boats, crops and buildings as the ferocious waves rushed inland. The death toll is in the tens of thousands.

                                                          The people of Aceh and we at FBA, familiar with the consequences of natural disaster, offer our condolences and support to the people of Japan at this time of crisis and sadness. Wishing you well in all your efforts of recovery and reconstruction.
