Read our latest newsletter on a new critique of microfinance, the underwhelming effects of a new cash transfers study, fraud, and more financialaccess.org/faiv/2024/8/7/…
"It will also be interesting to consider whether this set of (OpenResearch UBI) papers changes beliefs/priors about the plausibility of effect sizes reported in other experiments on poverty interventions." --@timothyogden mailchi.mp/financialacces…
Can #microfinance serve the most excluded without subsidies? Recent papers from @financialaccess explore this question. @timothyogden will discuss more in the upcoming @FinDevGateway webinar on July 10. 🗓️ Join us to ask your questions! findevgateway.org/findev-webinar…
Joyce Klein and @timothyogden answer key questions about the future of global microfinance using insights from the United States. Read their contribution to the latest OxRep, which focuses on the future of policy and subsidy within microfinance here: doi.org/10.1093/oxrep/…
Does belief in the foundational ‘win-win’ idea handicap financial inclusion and consumer protection policies and the social investment and finance industry as a whole? @JMorduch and @timothyogden consider microfinance and the social investment industry. doi.org/10.1093/oxrep/…
The new issue of OxREP: ‘Microfinance’ has just launched!
Super presentations from @IFPRI @financialaccess on micro-enterprises in Uganda pointing to benefits of providing biz feedback to women, deeper use of dfs by agri intermediaries, & lack of women's participation in the coffee/soy midstream. @fsduganda #smallfirmsdiariesug
Closing the day with reflections from @TradeMarkAfrica @FSDTanzania and @gatesfoundation on what they learned and potential quick wins like light-touch biz support. #smallfirmdiariesug
Our #smallfirmdiaries show enterprises' cash flows have many ups and downs. #FSPs should focus less on how to lend larger amounts of money for asset purchases and more on how to give #smallbusinesses access to finance when they need it. -Rachael Eplee @financialaccess #SAM2023

The #smallfirmdiaries followed 100+ businesses in each of 7 countries for a full year to understand their financial lives and the barriers they face. Here are some key data points from our analysis of the first 4 countries we studied: Colombia, Nigeria, Kenya, and Indonesia.🧵
