Turkey has launched "Muhammad Yunus International Centre for Microfinance and Social Business" at Okan University in Istanbul to provide a platform for addressing development challenges faced by Asia.
The centre, the first of its kind in the country, is expected to be a hub of research and practical applications as well as hands-on training for academics and researchers.
Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, President of Board of Trustees and Founder of Okan University Bekir Okan, Turkish Minister for European Union Affairs Egemen Baðýþ, representing the president of Turkey, and Minister for Family and Social Policies Affairs Fatma Sahin, representing the prime minister of Turkey, signed a charter to this effect on Thursday.
During the ceremony, Okan also announced that he would donate US$2 million to take care of the initial costs of the centre, said Yunus Centre in Dhaka said in a statement yesterday.
Founded in 1999, Okan University is one of the modern universities of Turkey
============================================
turkey grameen is one of the few that is growing and has a leader who stands for something - the no waste origin being interesting
its also the case that the eu has several countries that are really using microcredit www.microcredit.tv to job create
-these are most linked by maria nowak out of paris (as well as 400 volunteer enthusiasts out of BNP Paribas) but with her eastern origins in poland- poland's chair of the eu over last 6 months made microcredit its number 1 economic tool; and denmark as next chair has promised to keep up the relay
if turkey gets microcredit right this will mean that east europe and west asia become 2 of the most sustainable growth places at the intersection of the huge regions of east and west europe, west asia, russia -even putin could fall over micro
it would be jolly useful if these places can connect good future capitalism faster than the west can spin bad futuire capitalism; and it might be that arab spring could turn out ok too
(unlike the rest of europe I think it is true that turkey has laws permiting an entrepreneur to run a full loans and savings microcredit -if so it merits being a lot higher than number 7 in my league table of 10 most promising youth microcredits http://www.microcredit.tv/id62.html )
