As such, it focuses on developing the capacity of NGO MFIs to mobilize and intermediate voluntary savings.

Case studies then provide examples of developing a new regulatory tier for microfinance, and how a Ugandan NGO transformed to become a licensed financial intermediary. This book will be invaluable to regulators and microfinance 2F s contemplating institutional transformation and will be of tremendous use to donors and technical support agencies supporting MFIs in their transformation."
