Microfinance Gateway Bulletin - 04 Jun 2014

Weekly Bulletin 29 May - 04 Jun 2014 Microfinance Plus The core mission of financial institutions is to deliver financial products and services to their clients. However, many microfinance institutions leverage their position in the communities they operate in to offer more than just financial products; this added dimension is often referred to as "microfinance plus." This week, we present a selection of publications from recent years on microfinance initiatives dedicated to helping clients access health, water and sanitation, and energy.
