The programme is expected to improve financial access for 150,000 to 210,000 micro-clients, of which 75 per cent will be rural clients, with an aggregate loan portfolio of USD 50 million to USD 73 million by programme completion in 2017.[1] These micro-clients will benefit from more appropriate microfinance products and services that meet their needs, coupled with responsible finance practices that seek to ensure adequate consumer protection including financial education and transparency in lending policies at the selected MFIs.
