Beyond the Initial
‘Hype’:
The Future of
Microfinance
Critics of microfinance argue that it is
‘over-hyped.’ However, numerous success stories have given it the status of an
effective form of poverty alleviation when carried out under the right conditions.
Boston International and the Boston Microfinance Club are pleased
to host a panel of microfinance experts to discuss perspectives on the
potential future challenges and successes on the horizon for the microfinance
industry.
The Speakers:
Cristobal Marshall is a Program Manager in
the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) Finance group. He also
collaborates in J-PAL’s policy outreach and works in regional as well as
thematic initiatives. As a former economic advisor to the Ministry of Finance
Chile, he gained extended policy experience. Mr. Marshall holds an MPA/ID from
the Harvard Kennedy School.
Kevin Saunders works as Associate
General Counsel for ACCION International, a non-profit microloan organization,
where he assists in the oversight of the organization’s governance, compliance,
intellectual property, and risk management areas. He also participates in the
Council of Counsels, a group of in-house attorneys working in the field of
microfinance and co-teaches a course on microfinance at BU Law. Mr. Saunders
received his J.D. from Boston University School of Law.
Dr. Guy Stuart is a lecturer in public
policy at the Harvard Kennedy School where he teaches courses on microfinance
theory and management. He also serves as a consultant to Microfinance
Opportunities in Washington DC and is there principal investigator on
microfinance studies using Financial Diaries and participatory research
excercises in Malawi, Kenya, and Uganda. In the past he has conducted research
on microfinance in India, Mexico, and Pakistan. Dr. Stuart received his PhD
from the University of Chicago.
