Value chains and financial inclusion

I DFM er vi optaget af, hvordan små spare- og lånegrupper kan blive afsæt for fattige menneskers adgang til ressourcer og indflydelse, eller med andre ord, finansiel og samfundsmæssig inklusion.

In DFM we are looking into how small-scale savings groups can be linking members and groups to larger capital and to the civil society and the market more generally.

We have been working on savings- and loan groups’ access to capital from Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) and banks. See more in this guide (LINK to resources)
