Microfinance and Non-Financial Services for Very Poor People

Date: 8 Nov 2006
Author: Jan Maes and Laura Foose with Gaamaa Hishigsuren
 
Document Type: Working Group Papers
Language: English
 
Topic: Poverty Outreach
Description: This paper discusses the results of preliminary research done by the Poverty Outreach Working Group to identify promising approaches for serving very poor people with microfinance and non financial services. Servicing very poor people is possible—perhaps more possible than now appears— but that greater success will be dependent on understanding what the critical factors are and addressing them realistically and in ways that produce results that can be documented.
