Responsible finance providers lend to people, businesses and social enterprises. This episode features Duncan Parker, chief executive of Fredericks Foundation.
Duncan covers the Foundation's Women's Loan Fund; their work to
reduce unconscious bias on lending panels; his background in
international development; and his worry that excessive concern for
profit in microfinance, and the demands of some funders, is leading
some providers away from poor clients to serve better-off clients
who want larger loans.
