The Logo

The logo represents a combination of the microfinance triangle (see Manfred Zeller and Richard Meyer, The Triangle of Microfinance: Financial Sustainability, Outreach, and Impact) and a pyramid, where people can move "up the road" from the base to the top. It also reflects the triangular efforts between the two research organizations and the donor, represented in the colors.
