Response to criticisms of microfinance

These are all relevant responses to the criticism of Microfinance and certainly we at CARE International don’t see it as a panacea to ending poverty. It is one weapon in our armoury to address root causes of poverty in complex and changing situations. CARE works around the world on most of the issues facing people living in poverty.
