DID YOU KNOW.....
In the developing world and across Europe and the United States, Social Finance provision models have proven remarkably successful. They encompass a range of organizations, from credit unions, community banks, community-development corporations, or micro-credit providers. They provide loan finance as opposed to grant finance, to service unmet needs. These organizations are generally independent of state authority or public policy initiatives. Were they but an instrument of a policy initiative, their lifespan would inevitably be the same as that of the policy initiative, or indeed, of a particular Government. |
