This publication provides an overview and field guidance for the planning, design, and implementation of microfinance programs in conflict-affected countries. Because microfinance programs aim for both short- and long-term impact, cooperation between humanitarian and development organizations is important. The author describes how to coordinate such activities as assessing environmental conditions, identifying clients and influencers, and selecting implementing agencies.
