While MFIs in the Pacific have generally had little trouble in mobilising resources for their start-up operations, a more interesting question is to ask how can MFIs mobilise resources to maintain and expand their operations over the longer term? To put this question in another way, how can MFIs move from reliance on donor agencies and government to accessing resources from more sustainable sources? This paper presents a framework for analysing resource mobilisation by MFIs, emphasising the relationship between resource mobilisation and self-sufficiency, and role of stakeholders.
