Goldberg and Palladini's (both World Bank) text is a result of a series of meetings occurring between 2006 and 2008, financed by the UK's Dept. for Int'l. Development and supported by the World
Bank's Global Development Learning Network. Integrating input from 20 international microfinance experts and practitioners, the authors examine microfinance institutional (MFI) sustainability
in four Latin American countries--Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru--covering topics such as risk management systems, good governance, interest rates, micro insurance, progressing housing
microfinance, microleasing, disaster management, and using new technologies to improve and expand access to clients. The text is also available as an electronic textbook, allowing communities
of MFI board members, managers, staff, teachers, donors, and government regulators and supervisors to share notes and related materials for an enhanced, multimedia learning experience.
