Cloning Grameen Bank: Replicating a Poverty Reduction Model in India, Nepal and Vietnam
Helen Todd
Inspired by the enormous success of the Grameen Bank in providing financial assistance to the poorest of the poor, four individuals - a central banker, an appropriate-technology NGO organizer, a professor of international relations and a top-level communist official - each sought to replicate and adapt the model elsewhere in Asia.
By giving an unvarnished account of the problems encountered in the crucial first years of establishing a credit programme, the book alerts potential microcredit practitioners to the pitfalls and obstacles likely to be encountered in setting up a program. The book provides the opportunity to analyze the process of creating a successful credit program and draws from the experience of these four projects some lessons in best practice.
