Governments, multilaterals, foundations, socially motivated investors, and financially motivated investors are moving into the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise area.  For many years, the development community has supported microfinance.  Microfinance has developed a series of for-profit companies and has attracted financial investors.  With the success and reach of microfinance, there has been a renewed focus on providing money and advice to the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) sector.   &lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
