The book Microfinance: Interventions in Challenging Contexts co-edited by BRU-Iscte researchers Ana Paula Matias Gama and Ricardo Emanuel Correia was featured as Iscte’s Book of the Month for February 2026.

“This book aims to bring new insights into the effectiveness of microfinance as a tool for boosting entrepreneurial activities that in turn enhance the capabilities of individuals living in extreme poverty across several dimensions of human development, especially in the current challenging times for both individuals and the microfinance industry.”
