A Step into Harvard

As I stepped into the compound of Harvard University in November 2017, I witnessed the depth of knowledge embracing me in the land where John Harvard once stood in 1636. It was an awesome and majestic experience indeed. The insights received were extremely useful to delve into the various angles suggested in my research, such as behavioural economics, governance and accountability, income disparity, organizational dynamics and comparative studies on the region as a whole. In addition, the mechanics of financial products were discussed and the role of microfinancing institution as a channel by which government funding is transmitted to the communities, for the purpose of poverty reduction and nation building. It was also highlighted that the re-modelling of financial literacy in such under developed regions has to be revisited for effectiveness. The challenges of microfinancing were also highlighted during my visit to the World Bank, Washington D.C, which has several projects with Cambodia and similar economies.
