Commercially-oriented capital - has clearly stated financial objectives, but is largely funded by private donors, development agencies, and other such actors in the microfinance industry. 3. Development capital – aims to make capital available to MFIs through sustainable mechanisms to support their development and their growth without necessarily achieving financial return.

Group Lending
Self selected team
� Local knowledge of people
Joint liability
� Social collateral
Meetings with public payment
Small loans which escalate

Why Group Structure?
What is advantage to lender?

If you are reading this during the
simulcast…
Why bother flipping ahead? It spoils all the fun.
Wait until I start talking about the answer. I
know, it feels very non-technology, instant
access methodology for the non-twitter set,
but it can be fun

Still trying to read ahead?
Solve this puzzle,
then, if you are
impatient with
where the
conversation is
headed.
Or just back up.

Problems with Group Lending
Heavy burden on clients
People prefer solo
Loan officer pressure
Punishment cuts off all people
More credit available = less pain of cut-off
Social sanctions with families, urban areas
Government interference

Gender
Why do women make better clients than men?
� 1.3% of women struggle to pay versus
15.3% of men (Grameen, 1991)

Seriously,
Are you the person that watches the last 5 minutes of the movie first?
Let me help you, then, with some classic movie endings
• She’s really a man
• He’s already dead
• The whole village is in a wilderness preserve. The adults are the “monsters”
So, back up already

Gender - Possible Business ReasonsDoes Not Hold True in All Geographies
70% of the poor are women
Women have less access to loans and work
alternatives
� Costs of loans for clients (time) can be lower
Peer pressure and loan officer pressure are
different by gender
Social gains? Data is mixed
