Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For more than 30 years, small loans have been making a big difference in developing countries. Now, some suggest microfinance institutions (MFIs) could make a strong impact by focusing on US-based entrepreneurs. We look at microcredit’s evolution, hear why some worry that success stories may be overblown, and learn how lessons from abroad might be applied to local small businesses.
Guests
- Sam Daley-Harris Director of the Microcredit Summit Campaign; also Founder and President of RESULTS Educational Fund
- David Roodman Research Fellow, Center for Global Development; Project Manager, Commitment to Development Index
- Elisabeth Rhyne Managing Director, Center for Financial Inclusion, ACCION International
