About the Author:
Anna Awimbo is Research Director of the Microcredit Summit Campaign. She has had several years of experience working on women’s and youth issues to help identify alternative strategies for poverty alleviation. Her work has included tracking data to monitor the Microcredit Summit Campaign’s progress towards its goal. She co-designed and is part of the Summit’s team that coordinates trainings in Africa and Asia on the systematic integration of microcredit with education in child survival, HIV/AIDS prevention and reproductive health. Ms. Awimbo also serves on the Business Advisory Council of Five Talents International, an Anglican initiative to combat poverty through microenterprise development.
Review:
"There are many books that survey the social condition of poverty - but far less which examine economic strategies for circumventing poverty in the world. That's why college-level collections must have this - it provides a roadmap for recovery and comes not from ideals but from leading microfinance leaders and institutions determined to cut poverty by as much as half."
"The message... should serve as a wake up call: it is about time that the effective use of microfinancing and microenterprise became part of the mainstream, and became thought of as a pathway out of poverty... highly recommended."
"Especially interesting as it condenses the experiences of numerous diferent microfinance institutions. For practitioners and academics alike, this book is a useful addition to the microfinance literature."
