Rupert Scofield on Microfinance in Afghanistan
Rupert Scofield, President and CEO of FINCA, discusses the past, present and future of microfinance in Afghanistan in the very first issue of the Afghanistan Microfinance Association (AMA) magazine. The market for microfinance is currently "wide open and underserved" in Afghanistan, and Rupert expresses both the need for and promise of well-structured microfinance projects in the country to promote new technologies and economic growth, specifically in the agricultural sector.
