| Summary: | This report brings together the results
of an eight-part series of presentations by leading experts
in issues directly related to microfinance institutional
sustainability. It is intended for microfinance institution
(MFI) board members, managers, and staff members as well as
for government regulators, supervisors, and donor staff
members. The first four chapters include topics in risk
management: (1) risk management systems, (2) good
governance, (3) interest rates, and (4) micro-insurance. The
last four chapters include four topics in new product
development and efficient delivery methodologies: (5)
housing microfinance, (6) micro-leasing, (7) disaster
preparedness products and systems, and (8) new technologies.
The objectives of the series were as follows: i) to
strengthen MFIs by disseminating innovative approaches in
risk management, cost control, governance, and new
technologies; ii) to promote a South-South exchange of
experiences and lessons learned; iii) to promote greater
ties among the MFIs in the region and between MFIs and
government supervisors and regulators; and iv) to highlight
the Bank's ability to mobilize international technical
expertise in microfinance. |
