About GMCC

The Global Microfinance Case Competition is an annual competition organised and hosted by the Melbourne Microfinance Initiative. First run in 2011, it invites participants from 8 Australia and New Zealand based universities to come up with recommendations for a real organisation. This competition has attracted over 2000 participants through the last 3 instalments, and it continues to increase in size every year. 

The GMCC provides an engaging platform for students to utilise their analytical skills, tasking them with developing innovative solutions to pressing issues faced by microfinance and NFP institutions across the world. The multidimensional nature of the competition forces participants to consider the real world implications of their recommendations and resultant effects on the targeted communities. What sets the GMCC apart from other case competitions is that it is a live case based on a real MMI client. As a result, competitors are granted the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on an array of organisations committed to social impact.
