This document combines data from the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises with M-CRIL’s 40+ years of experience studying every aspect of microenterprises in India and in a dozen other countries in Asia as well as to some extent in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa and other countries.

Based on its recent impact assessment study of Cambodian microfinance, M-CRIL has written two advisory notes which examine the validity of some of the sensational international headlines and propose reform measures for the sector.

This impact assessment aims to understand the success and overall impact of the microfinance sector since the start-up of the microfinance program in Cambodia up to today.

This Advisory Note sets out M-CRIL's expectation of a four-to-five-year adjustment and recovery period from the COVID crisis, and imagines a road to recovery for the microfinance sector as a whole.
