Mark Malloch Brown,
Chef de Cabinet, Office of the Secretary General to the United Nations
"By directly empowering poor people, particularly women,
microfinance has become one of the key driving mechanisms towards
meeting the MDG's, specifically the overarching target of halving
extreme poverty and hunger by 2015." |
