This document outlines the agenda and goals of the COPIE II Subgroup on Access to Finance. The subgroup aims to: 1) Examine ESF interventions concerning access to finance, 2) Identify and review best practices, and 3) Provide guidance for future ESF support. Key activities include: developing a baseline study of access to finance in several countries, creating an assessment tool to analyze good practices, and holding meetings in 2011 to conduct peer reviews using the tool. The tool is meant to holistically evaluate the context, design, and impact of financial practices.
