ASA Philippines: Making Financial Inclusion Possible
內容大綱
Kamrul Tarafder was the President and CEO of ASA Philippines Foundation, a social enterprise dedicated to empowering women by providing microloans for them to start or run small businesses. Unlike traditional microfinance models, these loans are underwritten by able family members and disbursed in groups to reduce administrative costs. The organisation's prudent approach to screening, delivery and collection, which includes starting repayment before the tenure of the loan is over, has made ASA Philippines shape a successful model which aims to solve some challenges of the Grameen cooperative model. Throughout challenging economic periods, Tarafder maintained a strong commitment to financial inclusion by extending the loan duration or waiving loans to support borrowers during difficult times. He operated a sustainable business model by raising funds in the capital markets and ensuring timely repayments to build a positive track record and a credible reputation with lenders. Tarafder hoped to share his insights and strategies with other stakeholders in the industry in order to amplify the impact of microfinance on poverty alleviation and economic empowerment.
