Financial Inclusion Conference 2012 - Summary of Day Two


“The Seven Steps to Save the Soul of Microfinance”

Mr Larry Reed, Director, Microcredit Summit Campaign started the first session of the day by re-emphasizing the need to view Microfinance as a poverty alleviation tool and listed seven steps, which in his view were important for the future of microfinance:
  • Recognize excellence:  Recognizing that clients are the ones who are striving to get out of poverty and microfinance is merely a tool. He spoke of the need to learn from successes (best-case practices) in the sector.
  • Be Transformative: Acknowledging that microfinance is only one tool to eradicate poverty and not the only tool, and needs to combine with other products meeting the clients’ needs.

Perhaps that should be the start of focusing India on the source of business in the country. Many free financial modelling courses start on the basic steps of businesses: getting to know microfinance.
