Strategic Issues in MicrofinanceMwangi S. Kimenyi, Robert C. Wieland, Von Pischke, J. D. Ashgate Pub., 1998 - 243 pages This Collection of essays by eminent microfinance practitioners provides a range of perspectives on contemporary issues in the field. Different approaches are proposed for achieving improved access by the poor to financial services. The common denominator in these essays is financial sustainability for the service provider. Issues addressed include savings mobilization integral to microfinance and, if so, how should it be incorporated in new programs? Are NGOs the right institutional vehicle for sustainable microfinance interventions? Is standardized and generalizable microfinance credit rating system feasible? While there is considerable diversity in the approaches recommended in these essays, the importance of cost efficiency and cost recovery forms the basis for most of the discussions. |
