"Let’s bring the poor woman into the center of our focus. Let’s demonstrate that microfinance can be done profitably and effectively. Let’s be strategic in how we want to reach the policy makers the donors and the commercial banks. Let’s build a platform of influence together. Let’s use the Year and its Committees to keep the momentum going."
