The Review suggests the outlines of an
architecture for microfinance in Fiji in which the National
Centre for Small and Micro-Enterprise Development (NCSMED),
as envisioned by the Government of Fiji, is the primary
source of funding and technical assistance for microfinance
institutions. But to assure a sound financial sector
building approach to policy it is desirable that the Royal
Bank of Fiji also have substantial input. The Review also
discusses the capacity-building needs of the sector and
proposes that in addition to the role of NCSMED as the
domestic focal point for capacity-building, the World Bank
could be an appropriate external international agency to
support the National Centre in that role.
