RG-L1027 : Global Partnerships Social Investment Fund

The objective of the Project is to leverage the distribution capacity of microfinance institutions (MFIs) to enable the provision of new products and services for low-income communities. These products and services may include, but are not limited to housing solutions, micro-insurance products, health care and diagnostic screening, savings and pension programs, and education-related loans. MFIs due to their reach into poor communities offer an appealing distribution channel to enable socially beneficial products together with credit. The benefits of a shared channel provide synergies and economies of scale in reaching the poor and increasing the variety of products and services available.
