Discuss microfinance and livelihoods in Katine

A village bank in Katine sub-county

The Guardian recently joined Barclays, Farm-Africa and other organisations at a roundtable event to discuss how best to promote financial inclusion and improve livelihoods in Katine.

Now here's your chance to air your views on microfinance, financial inclusion, livelihoods, agriculture and income generation.

Are you a fan of Grameen Bank and the Muhammad Yunus approach to microcredit? Should the poorest be helped, or should entrepreneurs be given assistance so that a "trickle-down" effect occurs? Is Barclays right to consider working with existing village savings and loans associations?

And what about Farm-Africa's plans? Should it be buying cattle for farmers? Should it introduce more innovative crops than cassava and groundnut? Is livelihoods the most important part of any integrated development project, because without it everything else collapses?
