The NGO Global Partnerships is redefining microfinance and moving beyond the concept of microloans as working capital. It aims to achieve greater impact in reducing poverty by combining these loans with affordable social investments, such as health services, training and low-cost pensions and insurance.

In accordance with this change in strategy, the new Global Partnerships Social Investment Fund 2010 seeks investments in Latin America that are financially sound, competitively strong and with projects displaying an exceptional level of social impact.
