Same goes for CARD Bank in the Philippines. And Fonkoze’s non-profit arm also has clients directly involved in governance as members of the governing body. Grameen Foundation has always liked MFIs that incorporate client voice in this very tangible way. The Grameen borrowers on its Board have been very outspoken and effective in resisting the current Bangladeshi government’s proposed takeover/nationalization.
