No Title

[hari at soc.titech.ac.jp]

Dear members of CDB-L:

I'm new to the list and thought I should introduce
myself.....I'm a Ph.D. candidate presently at Tokyo Inst.
of Technology. In my research, I'm attempting to develop
a sort of "housing finance triangle" where community-based
groups, NGOs and Banks will form points of the triangle to
mobilize credit. Nothing new, I'm afraid, but looking at
this triangle from the point of view of the community groups
and the informal credit market in general is probably
new. Fingers crossed.

Much of this will be useful only to developing
countries in south/south-east asia, and specifically
to the lower-income households.

It's great to be part of this list and I'm
learning a lot. Hope over the next few postings, I'll be
able to share and give an Asian pinch to the list (like
Paul in Thailand has been doing).

Thanks.
Hari Srinivas.........
