Mergers in Microfinance

12 Case Studies

Intended as a companion resource to "Tying the Knot: A Guide to Mergers in Microfinance". The 12 case studies presented here demonstrate that mergers are already taking place in diverse microfinance environments. While mergers may not be the solution for everyone and not all mergers succeed, there can be great value in building stronger institutions by linking up with competitors.
