| Summary: | This is the Global Program Review (GPR)
of the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP).
Established in 1995 as a consortium of public and private
donors with its secretariat located in the World Bank, the
mission of CGAP has been to help build efficient local
financial markets that are integrated into the mainstream
financial system and that serve all the unbanked, including
very poor and harder-to-reach clients with ever more
innovative, convenient and affordable financial services.
Its specific objectives have been to generate and
disseminate knowledge, to catalyze the movement toward
good-practice performance standards, and to build consensus
among its many and varied stakeholders. In pursuit of these
objectives, CGAP's generic activities have consisted
of: (a) providing advisory services, (b) developing and
setting standards, (c) advancing knowledge (including sector
intelligence and information sharing), and (d) offering
training and capacity building services. |
