Any intervention #design elements that undermines trust amongst local actors have long term consequences against immediate gains. #Investing in the development of local #ecosystem actors is a sure way to building resilience in state #capacity. We support #evidence-informed decision making (#EIDM) across three levels: individual, organizational/institutional, and (eco)system levels

Preprint just out of some of my new research with Amy Eremionkhale, PhD MBA . A key debate in inclusive finance is whether the social mission of microfinance institutions (MFIs) conflicts with financial goals. Our results--using more comprehensive measures of social impact than previous work--suggest wider and deeper social impact are complementary rather than conflicting with financial scale. #inclusivefinance #microfinance #socialimpact #sdgs #sustainabledevelopment https://lnkd.in/eRr_sU7t
