This model scope of work was developed to accompany the Legal and Regulatory Frameworks for Access to Finance: Policy and Programming Tool. This tool was created for practical use by USAID Mission staff, practitioners, and other stakeholders in the field and provides guidelines for assessing the need for legal and regulatory reform that would increase access to finance for poor households and micro-entrepreneurs. The toolkit is comprised of three steps: assessing the existing situation for financial services, analyzing the conditions for reform, and determining what is feasible.
