Everyone we interviewed, individually or in a group, as well as those with whom we spoke briefly over the phone or in large meetings, was gracious and patient, and brought new insights into the development of the sector. We are truly impressed with the commitment and unity of purpose in serving low-income clients. With much gratitude, we thank each of you for your shared wisdom and trust this report will enrich your work. It was the private sector donors who had the foresight to see how much could be learned from Ugandan microfinance. It was the organizational prowess of Jackie Atenyi (GTZ), Gabriella Braun (GTZ), and Joanna Ledgerwood (SPEED) that enabled us to achieve so much in a short time.
