The New Middlewomen

The New Middlewomen describes a unique approach to the delivery of financial services to poor people, which can enable any existing commercial bank profitably to mobilize poor people's savings and provide loans to them, without the need for special systems or new institutions. The New Middlewomen is the result of extensive research funded by the British Department for International Development and the Ford Foundation in Kenya and India and will be essential reading for bankers who wish to support the poor profitably and effectively, and all those with an interest in microfinance issues.
