In an interview with Ingrid Munro in October, 2007, Campaign Director Sam Daley-Harris asked Ingrid Munro to share her thoughts on the following observation: RESULTS volunteers[1] in the United States and around the world have been working for four years to get half of the World Bank’s microfinance funds to those living on less than a dollar a day. The argument that comes from the World Bank and from others is that you can’t reach the very poor with microfinance, that they need safety nets instead.

Please use this discussion forum to share your thoughts on reaching the poorest with microfinance.

[1] RESULTS is an international citizens’ lobbying organization whose purpose is to create the political will to end hunger and the worst aspects of poverty (www.results.org).The Microcredit Summit Campaign is a project of RESULTS Educational Fund.
