Abstract:
This document reports on the process titled ‘Stimulating Business Development: Another side of microfinance?’ which was carried out within the framework of the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN) and organised by Triodos Facet and Hogeschool INHolland. The process had the objectives to enhance the understanding of the role of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in providing non-financial services to small entrepreneurs; to share information, perceptions and experiences between interested researchers, policymakers and development practitioners concerning (i) the needs of small entrepreneurs for non-financial business services and (ii) the potential role (micro)finance institutions can play in providing these non-financial business services; and to use the practical experiences in drafting inputs for the Dutch development policy.
