Microfinance roundtable

20 May 08

Microfinance Practitioners' Roundtable on June 12-13, 2008, in London, England. The Roundtable aimed to build on existing experiences and lessons, and push the boundaries of current thinking to:

Develop common principles for assessing the viability of micro- and commercial finance in the WASH sector, from the perspective of achieving operational and financial sustainability over time;
Develop a conceptual framework on what is needed to scale up these market based approaches;
Develop recommendations on the types of activities and approaches different stakeholders (donors, NGOs, banks, etc.) can use to build on the above, in order to further this market.
