The MIF has worked on hundreds of microfinance projects over our two decades, and we continue to do so. In the 1990s, when we were just getting started, microfinance in Latin America and the Caribbean was much less developed than it is today. In 1998, we established a “line of activity” that focused on establishing best practices for microfinance in the region. Now, microfinance is much more sophisticated and its needs are more complicated. We launched a second “line of activity” of smaller-scale microfinance projects in 2003, which targeted a broader range of partners than its predecessor did—not only traditional microfinance institutions (MFIs), but also banks seeking to reach smaller-scale clients, cooperatives, networks, and other kinds of organizations in the microfinance sphere needing institutional strengthening.
