Theoretical contributions explore the interplay between classical microfinance models and entrepreneurial ecosystems as well as innovative microfinance models, such as the pass-through microlending model in the crowdfunding context. Empirical contributions shed light to the interplay between microfinance and poverty, economic development, well-being and women?s empowerment. The book also considers responses to emerging challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the microfinance market, specifically focusing on eliminating extreme poverty (SDG1), promoting shared economic growth (SDG8), and reducing the inequalities among countries (SDG10) to ensure all people achieve prosperity. . 410 0$aAccounting, Finance, Sustainability, Governance & Fraud: Theory and Application,$x2509-7881 606 $aNew business enterprises$xFinance 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aDiversity in the workplace 606 $aEntrepreneurial Finance 606 $aEconomic Development, Innovation and Growth 606 $aBusiness Ethics 606 $aDiversity Management and Women in Business 615 0$aNew business enterprises$xFinance. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aDiversity in the workplace. 615 14$aEntrepreneurial Finance. 615 24$aEconomic Development, Innovation and Growth. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aDiversity Management and Women in Business. 676 $a658.421 676 $a658.15 700 $aGama$b Ana Paula Matias$0853233 701 $aAugusto$b Ma?rio$01780765 701 $aCorreia$b Ricardo Emanuel$01780766 701 $aDuarte$b Fábio$01780767 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910918701103321 996 $aMicrofinance: Interventions in Challenging Contexts$94430836 997 $aUNINA
