Unfortunately I can't quote what Yunus does say exactly because I'm travelling right now and I don't have the book on me. But it's an elaboration of your hunch.Chandrahashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483080477755487202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082470.post-45752035393428768032007-07-09T10:32:00.000+05:302007-07-09T10:32:00.000+05:30Chandrahas, Very good review on what is clearly an...Chandrahas, <BR/><BR/>Very good review on what is clearly an important effort. I heard of Muhammad Yunus and Grameen bank through a documentary on social entrepreneurs I saw on American public television - here is <A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/opb/thenewheroes/meet/yunus.html" REL="nofollow">the link</A> with some information and pictures <BR/><BR/>I do have a question: does Yunus elaborate on why Grameen focused on women borrowers? Greater accountability and better management, perhaps? For if this was successfully done in a place “in a society which treated them [women] like second-class citizens”, it bodes very well for emulating the Grameen idea of focusing on women borrowers elsewhere as well.Harihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339987786745985294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082470.post-85638981093387003162007-07-08T02:36:00.000+05:302007-07-08T02:36:00.000+05:30Wonderful piece, Chandrahas.
