Over the last two decades, the interest in microfinance as a sustainable development strategy to lift the poor out of poverty who have no access to financial services in developing countries, has grown rapidly among multilateral lending agencies, bilateral donor agencies, developing and developed country governments, non-government organizations (NGOs) and private banking institutions. Consequently, the demand and supply for microfinance services have grown rapidly during the last decade, although from an initial low level, and have come to the forefront of development discussions concerning poverty reduction. Fineline is now one of the leading private development institutions that are providing demand-driven consulting services to other organisations involved directly in Microfinance development through providing financial services to the poor in Africa.
