Manage episode 296741889 series 2947560
Responsible finance providers lend to people, businesses and social enterprises. This episode features Duncan Parker, chief executive of Fredericks Foundation.
Duncan covers the Foundation's Women's Loan Fund; their work to reduce unconscious bias on lending panels; his background in international development; and his worry that excessive concern for profit in microfinance, and the demands of some funders, is leading some providers away from poor clients to serve better-off clients who want larger loans.
