It reminded me on a presentation of Jacques Attali's PlaNet Finance organization. Founded in Paris in 1998, this international NGO plays the role of an intermediate actor between huge worldwide organizations (World Bank, IMF, etc.) and the very smaller microfinance NGOs. Planet Finance tries to close the gap between these two organizational poles mainly differing in size and structure. Muhammad Yunnus' Grameen Bank is one of about 7000 member institutions of this network. Nice article, Jerem!
