Ten (10) KMBI clients and selected staff have graduated from GEM (Grassroots Entrepreneurship Program) hosted by the CMDC (Citi Microenterprise Development Center). The graduation rite was held at Bayan Academy, Quezon City last Feb 29, 2016 and it was graced by Ms. Aneth Lim, Director of Corporate Affairs, Citibank Philippines.

The CMDC is a joint advocacy project of Citi Philippines and Bayan Academy for Social Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Development, Inc. The Center promotes entrepreneurship and growth among microfinance clients by providing quality training, customized coaching and business advisory.

Every year, KMBI sends a number of high potential entrepreneur clients to join the workshop as part of their commitment in providing responsive non-financial services. Both KMBI and CMDC aim for all clients to increase their income, employ more workers, improve their loan performance and maximize the use of their capital for improving their business.

Graduates of the GEM Program are eligible to join the Citi-SBACS (Citi-Small Business Advisory and Coaching Services). It is a small business clinic and advisory center wherein micro entrepreneurs can receive personal mentoring from experts in the field of Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations and Legal Requirements.
