Project Description
The program continues and refines the Phase 1 project (#549246), updates
the objectives and strategic focus, and aligns with the access-to-finance
strategy that focuses on innovation, knowledge management, and technical
support to regions. The objective is to contribute to the scaling up of
commercial microfinance, thereby expanding access to inclusive financial
services through concentration in two main areas. The first, portfolio
management, manages global network partners and their subsidiary projects
in the regions, with the expected outcome of increasing access to
financial services for the unbanked. The second area, knowledge
management, manages at least 10 knowledge events and two studies, leading
to development of at least two new products, with the expected outcome of
positioning IFC as a leader in at least two new product areas, and
developing three follow up projects.
