Managing environmental turbulence in the microfinance sector - a case study of the Aga Khan rural support programme in Pakistan

Ashfaq Khan · 2008 · Research Online (University of Wollongong)

Summary. This case study examines how the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme in Pakistan adapted its microfinance operations when international donors shifted from providing subsidized funding to demanding institutional self-sustainability in the 1990s. The microfinance division successfully transformed from a donor-dependent organization into a commercially viable institution by restructuring its tangible and intangible organizational elements to survive competitive market pressures.
