Paul DiLeo and Anna Kanze co-edit “The Future of Microfinance”

Brookings has announced a June 2020 publication date for The Future of Microfinance, edited by Paul DiLeo and Anna Kanze of Grassroots, Ira Lieberman, founding CEO of CGAP, and Todd Watkins, Executive Director of the Martindale Center at Lehigh University. The book compiles contributions from nineteen authors whose involvement in global microfinance covers 30 years and all regions. The focus is on how microfinance has succeeded to become the model for more nascent impact businesses and the challenges it faces — new technologies, new competitors and how to better meet the needs of the poor.
