In this latest installment of The Sentinel Project, the team at FAI examines the challenges MFIs have faced on the supply side, explore some of the demand-side trends that the pandemic has brought, and investigate how much digitalization is an enduring reality. Could it be that what we are seeing among traditional microfinance providers is better understood as incrementalism rather than a transformative digital revolution?
