This learning brief is based on the lessons that emerged during a study program attended by a Rwandan delegation to New Delhi, India from August 28-31, 2017. The study program was facilitated by Basix Academy for Livelihoods and Micro-enterprise Promotion (B-A-LAMP) and funded by The SEEP Network as part of the Responsible Finance through Local Leadership and Learning Program. It begins by explaining the evolution of the Indian microfinance sector, and the reasons why responsible finance has gained increased attention and commitment from different actors in the sector. It then goes on to explain the role of those different actors in furthering responsible finance in India, ending with next steps for the Rwandan sector based on lessons from the Indian experience.
