Could you please elaborate on the reasons behind the failure of microfinance? Was it due to the lack of proper risk assessment, insufficient capital for borrowers, or a combination of both? Were there any regulatory gaps that contributed to its downfall? How did the global economic crisis impact the sector? And, most importantly, what measures can be taken to prevent such failures in the future and ensure the sustainability of microfinance initiatives?
