Description
Summary:	The Review suggests the outlines of an architecture for microfinance in Fiji in which the National Centre for Small and Micro-Enterprise Development (NCSMED), as envisioned by the Government of Fiji, is the primary source of funding and technical assistance for microfinance institutions. But to assure a sound financial sector building approach to policy it is desirable that the Royal Bank of Fiji also have substantial input. The Review also discusses the capacity-building needs of the sector and proposes that in addition to the role of NCSMED as the domestic focal point for capacity-building, the World Bank could be an appropriate external international agency to support the National Centre in that role.
