This trend appears to be fueled by microfinance's heightened visibility and new development modalities that favor sector-wide approaches and policy work. Developing a national microfinance strategy usually involves four stages: (i) conducting a diagnostic/gap analysis of the microfinance sector; (ii) consulting with stakeholders (more or less extensively); (iii) drafting a document, usually by a consultant in cooperation with government; and (iv) adopting and implementing the strategy, including approval by a governmental body and, in some cases, defining action steps to put the strategy into practice. 2012-08-13T08:50:20Z 2012-08-13T08:50:20Z 2008-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2008/06/9792123/national-microfinance-strategies http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9515 English CGAP Brief CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
