Contexte

Indonesia’s microfinance industry is among the largest in the world with over 150,000 microfinance institutions, the majority of which are characterized by low growth in outreach and inefficient operation systems. However, loans extended by many microfinance institutions are used for consumption needs and do not automatically lead to more productive investments. Therefore, microfinance should be fostered with a view to balance both social and commercial objectives. The promotion of responsible finance is a key ingredient to this end. The project is implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
