Beyond Emergency Responses: Ensuring the Legacy of Market-Based Microfinance Expansion

Cordero, Mariano A; Matondang, Rizal; Smidt, Pieter | October 2009
Abstract
The ADB-assisted Earthquake and Tsunami Emergency Support Project aimed to develop sustainable and responsive financial services to micro and small enterprises in Aceh and the island of Nias in Sumatra, Indonesia. The Grant Agreement for the project included the creation of a Microfinance Innovation Fund to provide commercial funding to partner banks willing to expand financing for micro and small enterprises. The Microfinance Innovation Fund was designed to be a revolving fund to serve microfinance-oriented banks beyond the life of the project.
