| Summary: | The Consultative Group to Assist the
Poor (CGAP), a multi-donor consortium dedicated to advancing
microfinance, is a global resource center for microfinance
standards, to provide operational tools, training, and
advisory services, committed to building more inclusive
financial systems for the poor. Meeting the challenge of
placing resources and power into the hands of poor and
low-income people themselves, is the topic of this book. It
is also the main focus of the CGAP, a vision about inclusive
financial systems, the only way to reach large numbers of
poor and low-income people. To get there, diverse approaches
are needed, reviewed through a look at microfinance, its
history, process and progress. The book offers a compendium
of CGAP's learning and experience over the past decade,
opening a new chapter in its ongoing work: to dramatically
expand access to financial services. |
