The document discusses building a microfinance remittance network in Ethiopia by enabling three large microfinance institutions (MFIs) to process international money transfers. It aims to reduce remittance prices and expand microfinance services by connecting the MFIs' 600 rural branches to banks and money transfer companies abroad. Operational challenges include MFI regulations restricting foreign exchange, infrastructure issues, and high rural cash distribution costs. Solutions involve working with government agencies on approvals, using reliable mobile networks, centralized training, and marketing emphasizing MFI benefits and rural reach.
