How the World Bank is attacking poverty through small enterprise development and microfinance
The President of the World Bank outlines the contribution made by the Bank to reducing poverty through promoting small enterprises and microfinance. The World Bank has been active in the Consultative Groupto Assist the Poorest (CGAP), which promotes best practice in the microfinance industry and funds selected institutions to bring financial services to the poor. The new Small Business Development Initiative
aims to benefit small and medium businesses by, among other things, supporting the market for private-sector business development services. A major role of the World Bank is to gather together and distill
the knowledge of many donors and, in publishing these lessons of experience, Small Enterprise Development plays a part.
