Key principles of microfinance (pdf 164kb)

This document presents a list of key principles for effective, accessible and equitable microfinance services. These principles were developed by the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP), a coalition of public and private development organisations working to expand access to microfinance for the poor. The principles were endorsed by G8 leaders in 2004.
