January Focus Topic: Microfinance
In January 2017, as part of our new focus on monthly themes, NextBillion dedicated special coverage to the challenges, debates and innovative approaches that are shaping the microfinance sector. The diverse posts below discuss new business, technology and policy approaches to making microfinance more effective, more accessible and more sustainable.
